Brief Biography:
Rachel Aldred lectures in Sociology. Her background is in the sociology of social policy, and in welfare considered broadly to include health and environmental consequences of social and policy trends. With experience in a range of qualitative methodologies from discourse analysis to in-depth interviewing and critical ethnography, she is interested in developing and theorising mixed method approaches – such as IHHD’s innovative Community Engagement methodology. Her current research programme is focused around transport and mobility, linking cultural, health, and environmental implications of current trajectories.
Rachel has obtained ESRC funding to continue the Cycling Cultures project begun in Cambridge with IHHD's support in May 2008. More information here.
Rachel's other project (with Dr. Daniela Tepe) received UEL Promising Researcher funding in 2009, entitled "Exhausting Risks? The Car Industry, CO2, and the regulatory state". This project studies the politics of regulating CO2 emissions at an EU-level and has led to a one-day workshop at the LSE and to a number of academic papers.
