Global Political Economy
PhD Researcher in Global Political Economy (ESRC 1+3)
School for Sociology, Politics and International Studies, University of Bristol
Start date: September 2014
Research topic: Governing the Bioeconomy
Bridging Science and Technology Studies (STS), Development Studies and Poltical Ecology, and contextually set within the emerging policy transition to a global ‘Bioeconomy’, my research examines the implications of commercial synthetic biology to sustainable development and future agro-industrial production. I am particularly interested in the concepts of ‘disruptive’, ‘sustainable’ and ‘responsible’ innovation, as well as how these notions are assimilated into multi-stakeholder deliberations and the global governance of emerging technologies at the UN Convention of Biological Diversity.
