Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations: retrospect and prospect (2024)
Journal Article
Morris, C., Brockett, B. F., Selwood, S., Carr, V., Hall, J., Hughes, J., & Ambrose-Oji, B. (2024). Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations: retrospect and prospect. Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 11(1), Article 399. https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-024-02891-z

Building upon the concept of mainstreaming social sciences within conservation, we consider their mainstreaming, and so integration, within UK environment policy and practice (EPP) organisations. The paper responds to increasing calls to recognise th... Read More about Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations: retrospect and prospect.

Biochar carbon markets: A mitigation deterrence threat (2024)
Journal Article

This article aims to add to the emerging empirical mitigation deterrence literature by drawing on ongoing research into a particular form of greenhouse gas removal technology – biochar – and associated biochar carbon markets. As such, the aim of this... Read More about Biochar carbon markets: A mitigation deterrence threat.

Biochar in the British print news media: an analysis of promissory discourse and the creation of expectations about carbon removal (2023)
Journal Article
Nerlich, B., Morris, C., Price, C., & Harris, H. (2024). Biochar in the British print news media: an analysis of promissory discourse and the creation of expectations about carbon removal. Science as Culture, 33(3), 392-416. https://doi.org/10.1080/09505431.2023.2285057

Biochar is amongst a growing suite of approaches developed to address the climate crisis by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; yet public awareness of biochar is low. In this situation, mass-media reporting plays an important role in making...

Searching for the “politics of the possible” in flexitarianism (2023)
Journal Article
Morris, C., Kelsey, S., & Harper, L.-R. (2023). Searching for the “politics of the possible” in flexitarianism. Food, Culture and Society, Article 2175993. https://doi.org/10.1080/15528014.2023.2175993

The paper builds on recent flexitarianism scholarship by approaching this heterogeneous dietary category as a socio-cultural and political economic, rather than just a psychological phenomenon. It does this by drawing on Edmund Harris’s conceptualiza... Read More about Searching for the “politics of the possible” in flexitarianism.

Recent years have seen an increase in actions to address a key feature of food in the Anthropocene: the over-production and consumption of animal-based foods or “animalisation” of diets. However, it is unclear whether such efforts can be understood a...
