Trosolwyg
Hannah is a Research Associate at the Sustainable Places Research Institute, focusing on work in partnership with the Canal and River Trust. Current work investigates community use of blue-greenspaces, its benefits and what prevents people accessing them. Hannah is a social scientist whose research has focused on community, place, and sustainability with her PhD exploring these in the context of gardening projects in south Wales. Much of her work is in collaboration with voluntary and community associations.
She previously worked at the University of the West of England, Bristol evaluating third sector initiatives relating to food. Hannah undertook her postgraduate research and study at Cardiff School of Geography and Planning. Prior to this she worked for voluntary environmental organisations including the National Trust.

Ymchwil
My current role is to lead on collaborative research between the Canal & Rivers Trust and the Sustainable Places Research Institute. The present focus is to understand reasons people do not access their local waterway, and how they might be encouraged to do so. It uses a selection of case studies centred on different waterways, using participatory techniques to engage various communities.The research builds on previous work for the Trust to examine the socio-environmental impacts of inland waterways in England and Wales, and develop an framework to measure the outcomes. I am working with the Trust to share this as an example of good practice in tracking impacts on wellbeing.
My background is in geography and social anthropology with an emphasis on environment and sustainability. I am particularly interested in relationships between people and places, and how this affects the wellbeing of individuals and communities. For my PhD I focused on these issues in the context of community gardens. This research used a combination of ethnographic methods including mobile and visual approaches. I am interested in innovative methodologies which enable both people and nonhumans to fully participate in social research, with a focus on plants.
