Dr Lisa Howard

Job Title

Postdoctoral Researcher, The University of Edinburgh

Profile

I have recently completed my PhD in Sociology at the University of Edinburgh. My research used a qualitative, feminist research design to explore parenting, family life and everyday action on the climate and ecological crisis.

In my spare time, I run a community project in Edinburgh which aims to connect local people to one another weekly over a cup of tea. I am passionate about helping people to heal the scars of pandemic 'social distancing' that has had a hugely negative impact on mental wellbeing. 

Research interests

My research interests are in personal life, environment and sustainability, and everyday activism as a social practice.
