Alison is a political ecologist working on nature-society relations and works across a broad range of environmental subject areas: bringing non humans into research and decision making processes in governance of trees and water; and investigating the impact that these relationships have on human and non-human health and well-being. In several projects, she has explored how these relationships are mediated by human values. She particularly focuses on the social and cultural values associated with trees, building understanding of how these values are dynamic in relation to risk (funded by DEFRA), what metrics might be used to measure different types of value (again funded by DEFRA) and how these values influence land managers’ decision making (funded by NERC).
