While the theoretical frameworks and research questions are similar, the move has introduced me to a world of engineers, architects and industry partners and allowed me to engage in an exciting, contemporary field of research. This research applies my interest in the sociology of science and technology to a new object, namely large construction firms. The second phase of my academic career began in 2008 when I joined the Innovative Construction Research Centre (ICRC) to develop a research programme on sustainable construction. In 2003, I moved to the University of Reading as Reader and Head of the Department of Sociology, where I continued my work on styles of reasoning.
I pursued this work in Berlin at the Max Planck Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte, before taking a position at Harvard University as an Assistant, and then Associate, Professor in the Department of Sociology. This work focused on the effect of national state and scientific institutions on styles of reasoning. I first developed this interest while working on my PhD for Princeton, much of which was written in Paris as a visiting student at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes. In the first part I specialised in the sociology of knowledge and comparative historical sociology. My academic career can be divided into two related, but distinct phases. “An assessment of measures to decarbonise the UK food system“.
