Louise Emily Carver is a human geographer whose research and public interventions are interested in how value is mediated through policy and knowledge practices. Her empirical and ethnographic research explores the science and policy interfaces of “green” capitalism and its intersections with biodiversity conservation. Carver works in ways that try to go beyond critique while tracing existing and possible geographies of hope and affirmation. She is currently developing projects that explore the histories and recomposed futures of visual cultures and diagrams used in the science and policy of biodiversity conservation, as well as changes to the UK’s land and farm policy while it experiments with political separatism. Also underway is an investigation into the material and metaphorical significances of the Alligator mississppiensis in relation to the human “reptile brain.” Carver completed her PhD in 2017 at the Leverhulme Centre for the Study of Value at Birkbeck, University of London. She is Honorary Researcher at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre, in the UK.
