His research is concerned with developing new understandings of the changing relations between humans, the environment, and technology, drawing on social theory, qualitative sociological research, philosophy, and theology. Currently, he focuses especially on climate change and geo-engineering, the ecocapitalist imaginary, urban ethical foodscapes, and “decision making in an unstable world.” He is affiliated to the Centre for the Study of Environmental Change (CSEC) and the Economic and Social Research Council’s (ESRC) Centre for the Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics (Cesagen). Active in working with scholars from different disciplines within the arts and humanities, he has organized the major international conference and arts event “Between Nature: Explorations in Ecology and Performance” (2000).
