Delighted to deliver a guest lecture on feminism, glaciology, & STS as part of the University of Exeter module on Theoretical Sociology.
This was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how feminist scholarship and practice influences my research with a group of really engaged students☺️
Check out @jonathan-growcott.bsky.social's new paper!
It's always exciting to see what others in my PhD cohort are up to - ours is an interdisciplinary program so there's such a range of research going on.
I'm no expert on ecology, but these Loud Leopards seem pretty cool🐆📢

Insightful paper by Emilie Fox et al. "managing glaciers as a resource may limit, or even undermine glacier protection efforts" doi.org/10.3389/frwa...
ahhh the sky is so gorgeous!

🎓This is part of my PhD research into glacier protection and preservation in the face of climate change and mining threats
➡️Next year is the UN International Year of Glaciers' Preservation - stay tuned to hear more findings, or get in touch if you want to discuss this further
Why is this?
🔎Glaciological research is not directly translated into policy
🌇🌱As a resource, their protection is conditional on the shifting ways glaciers are valued for providing water to downstream communities and ecosystems.
Excited to share the first paper from my PhD🥳
‘Water Resource’ framing for the value and governance of glacier water availability in the semi-arid Chilean Andes.
We found that managing glaciers solely as a resource may limit, or even undermine glacier protection efforts.

Hi👋 My name’s Ellie and I research threats to glaciers and inequality in water access, mainly in Latin America
I’m interested in:

🏔️Glacier Protection
⛏️ Mining risk & extractivism
🌱💧Environmental justice
