Research
| 14th November 2010: | Nailsea ConsultationsI assisted Professor Patrick Devine-Wright and Dr Matthew Cotton along with others, on a two day research project. This involved consultation exercises with the residents of Nailsea on the two route corridors for a new powerline proposed by National Grid. This involved a variety of alternative methods such as word mapping exercises and role-play in order to understand the main concerns of local residents to the proposals. This was a great experience in public engagement, which offered a new perspective for my own PhD research as the powerline is being built to transmit electricity from the proposed Hinkley C nuclear reactor across the South-West boundary to other parts of the UK. |
