Title: From place attachment to spatial imaginaries: how spatial thinking can advance understandings of energy infrastructure siting
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the geographical and social dimensions of infrastructural change in energy systems, with a specific focus on the challenges of community engagement. I will review different conceptual approaches and discuss their implications for geographical and interdisciplinary understandings. This will be informed by presentation of empirical findings from several recent research projects conducted in the UK and Sweden, covering topics such as community objections to shale gas, the decarbonisation of industrial regions using technologies such as Hydrogen and CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage), and conflicts over the siting of transmission power lines in Sweden. Referencing my work as Director of the ACCESS network (Advancing Capacity in Environment and Climate Social Science), I will conclude with a discussion about the policy implications of this work, discuss the (social) science/policy nexus, and discuss ways to increase the visibility, impact and use of social science in policy making.
