Hannah Hughes is Senior Lecturer in International Politics and Climate Change in the International Politics Department at Aberystwyth University. Hannah's central research concern is global environmental degradation and the forms of knowledge that inform the political response, as well as the necessary conceptual and methodological innovation to advance understanding of this. She has examined this through research on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and published findings in Nature Climate Change and Global Environmental Politics. Hannah is co-investigator on the ESRC grant The Politics of Science in International Climate Cooperation and has a forthcoming book on The IPCC and the Politics of Writing Climate Change. Hannah and Alice began their collaboration in 2016 with the aim of initiating greater discussion on the study of negotiation sites through the concept of global environmental agreement-making, editing a special section in Global Environmental Politics and leading a multi-authored perspective piece in the Earth System Governance journal. Alice B. M. Vadrot is Associate Professor for International Relations with a focus on Environmental Politics at the Department of Political Science of the University of Vienna and Visiting Research Fellow at the Centre for Science and Policy (CSaP) of the University of Cambridge. Her work addresses the role of knowledge and science in global environmental politics. She has extensively researched the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) and developed the concept of "epistemic selectivities". As PI of the 5-year research project MARIPOLDATA, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) she develops and applies a new interdisciplinary methodology to study agreement-making and the interrelations between marine biodiversity politics and ocean science in practice. Vadrot is the author of "The Politics of Knowledge and Global Biodiversity" (Routledge, 2014) and editor of several special issues, research articles and editorials inter alia in Global Environmental Politics, Environmental Politics, Nature and Marine Policy. |
