Overview

Sara MacBride-Stewart, Professor in the School of Social Sciences.

I am the co-lead for the Cardiff University Planetary Health University Research Network.

My research is focused on Just Transitions and Environmental Justice. My focus is on the wellbeing that people derive from the natural environment, the impacts of humans on our natural landscapes and the uneven impacts of climate mitigation policies om communities.  I explore these issues as a matter of environmental and global (in)justice, as communities and landscapes are varied and wellbeing is unevenly derived. Inequalities in Net Zero, environmental futures and leisure/recreation activities and nature spaces (including kauri forests and National Parks) are key areas for my study. My research has explored solutions for Planetary Health that tackle social, economic and environmental demands. I critically examine how neoliberalism is creating particular tensions between the environment and human health, and use feminist geopolitics to link local everyday practices to global discourses and ideologies about wellbeing.

I have developed in-depth qualitative approaches for exploring the knowledges, experiences and practices for enabling an understanding of natural landscapes as embodied, sensory, and affective places for community wellbeing. My work has contributed to academic and policy understandings about the connections between people, places, and nature for human wellbeing in protected areas for marginalised groups in Wales/UK and globally (New Zealand, Malaysia). 

My research interests are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. I have worked across the fields of feminist studies, social sciences, science and technology studies, and medical sociology for the past 15 years. My earliest publications on the narratives of sexuality, and gender and pain inform about the embodied experience of illness, so it is appropriate that I now turn to a critical consideration of wellbeing and its role in environmental (in)justice. I am an executive board member of the Sustainable Places Research Institute and an academic in the interdisciplinary School of Social Sciences. I have an Unku-Omar Fellowship with Dr Zeeda Fatima Mohammad (University of Malaya, Malaysia) on Place-Based Citizen Science. With a developing international research profile, I continue to work closely with local bodies in Wales. I have had active research partnerships with Brecon Beacons National Park, Run4Wales, Office of the Commissioner for Wellbeing for Future Generations (Wales) and Welsh Government. I have been active in supervising PhDs, masters and undergraduate research. I continue to contribute to academic teaching innovation and mentorship in the UK and internationally.

I have been active in supervising PhDs, masters and undergraduate research students. I continue to contribute to academic teaching innovation and mentorship in the UK and internationally.

I welcome students to contact me for postgraduate supervision in any of areas related to: the promotion of wellbeing in the natural environment, nature-based solutions or planetary health; environmental justice; gender, ecofeminism, feminist ecopolitics; environmental sociology; sustainable development, citizen science or social analyses of environmental problems or solutions; new materialisms. 

I welcome collaborations in the following research areas: interdisciplinary, Just Transitions and environmental justice, forest/tree-human health relations, water health-human relations, biosecurity and recreational disturbance (honeypots and protected areas); environmental and social justice; precarious life/futures (climate related) and precarious work (environmental sector); planetary health; critical understandings of wellbeing; social activism and local activism for climate change/land use change/biodiversity loss; place-based citizen science; recreational users and uses (esp gender/ed and marginalized use/rs)

Supervisions

I an interested in supervising research in the following areas: environment, gender and health especially in relation to promoting sustainable health, social justice and equalities. That is, the ways in which natural environments (including national and urban parks) contribute to a health, well-being and social-justice agenda is of particular interest. In the context of global environmental pressures, I am interested in the interconnectedness in and between contexts, tensions between protecting nature and destroying nature, disenfranchised and connected communities, as well as alternative systems and institutional frameworks in which innovative approaches to gender, health and environmental changes/impacts are being advanced.

I will also consider supervision in the following topics and /or theoretical perspectives: environmental justice, nature-society-science discourses and policy, citizen science and participatory approaches, non-medical experiences, precarity and environmental labour, professional practice, public policy, feminist theories, queer, postmodern, and embodied approaches related to regulation, subjectivity, materiality, temporality, and affect.
