Profile
Biography
Ulrike is a social scientist with a PhD in Sociology. She joined the University of York in August 2021 as a Research Associate on the FixOurFood programme, researching local food economy initiatives and how they can impact production to consumption in a regenerative way. She is interested in sustainability, consumption and transformational change with a focus on questions related to environmental issues, social inequality, agency and behaviour change. Concerned with how framings and understandings of social challenges are interrelated with policy making, collective individual behaviour and physical environments, her work focusses on the interplay between discourses, imaginaries and practices. Ulrike’s methodological expertise is in critical discourse analysis and she is passionate about co-productive and transdisciplinary forms of research.
