Andrew Judge
Andrew Judge is a Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations. His research focuses on the politics of energy security and climate change. This includes exploring questions about why some aspects of national and international energy systems become 'securitised'; what impact this has on policymaking, international negotiations and the legitimation of political orders; and how competing claims about insecurity and injustice around energy and climate interact.
Andy is also currently writing a textbook on the Global Politics of Energy and is interested in developing knowledge exchange and impact projects around enhancing political and climate literacy in Scotland and beyond.
Ewan Kerr
Dr Ewan Kerr is a Research Associate in the School of Social & Political Science. He is currently working on the Leverhulme-funded project Democratic Localism and Global Policy Mobility. The two-year project will investigate the transformative potential and prospects for urban political initiatives to generate alternatives to dominant forms of economic development and top-down political governance, and reflect on how political change can be achieved from below and in dialogue with other places. He is also an Associate Editor of the journal Critical Sociology, and a co-founder of the Trade Unions and Labour Environmentalism Network.
Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Glasgow Caledonian University, examining state-society relations during crisis periods as part of the ESRC-funded ENDURE project.
