Joshua Garland
Postdoctoral fellow

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher with Lund University’s Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS) as a member of the ‘ICARUS’ project team that focuses on power, networks and intersectionality in climate adaptation.
My research interests centre on:
- Environmental politics, especially cross-scale governance dynamics
- Climate change
- Social movements and social networks
- Methodology, inclusive of mixed and visual approaches
I have experience developing and successfully implementing mixed method research designs including survey instruments, interviews, content analyses and statistical approaches using Stata, alongside photo-elicitation techniques.
Before joining LUCSUS, I completed my PhD in Sociology and Methodology of Social Research at the universities of Milan and Turin, Italy, and completed a research Master’s analysing the UK anti-fracking movement while at the University of Exeter.
I have published in journals such as Social Movement Studies and Visual Studies, and was the 2023 recipient of the International Visual Sociology Association’s Rieger Award.
I can also be found on ResearchGate and LinkedIn.
