We are committed to informing the global transition to a greener future which includes support for increased environmental well-being and social and economic justice, investment in the green economy and underpinning all this is nature recovery. Our members work closely with a range of local, regional, national and international groups to enhance understanding, engagement and impact.
With a diverse membership from across all Schools and Faculties, our Centre is home to both staff and postgraduate students and acts as a hub for interdisciplinary research, helping to foster links and champion research opportunities between researchers, students and external organisations. . The Centre is run by Directors from the three University faculties; Prof Thomas Cameron (School of Life Sciences), Dr Katy Wheeler (Department of Sociology and Criminology), and Dr Ellisif Wasmuth (School of Philosophical, Historical, and Interdisciplinary Studies), supported by a core Advisory group from each University School.
The Centre for Environment and Society organises research workshops throughout the academic year. We invite research experts and leading practitioners around the world to share their expertise and cutting-edge research in the fields of sustainability, climate change, disaster management, environmental management, and biodiversity.
Our Horizon Scanning and unscripted events provide a platform to promote greater debate and develop innovative approaches, which serve as the building blocks to an inclusive and collaborating community. Our events are open to all.
The CES directors and core team support the development of transdisciplinary research across our campus, and helps build partnerships with local, and national collaborators and stakeholders to be ready to respond to cross council and discipline research calls.
