We study questions of trust and protest, of the everyday and the exceptional, of human and non-human relations, of past and future temporalities, of endings, heritage and new construction, and much more, with a critical international perspective.
One currently ongoing research project addresses pertinent contemporary issues of nuclear power plant maintenance and related challenges in skills supply (Aging Atoms). Another project develops ideas and new understandings of nuclear natures beyond radioactive contaminated environments (Nuclear Natures). Two projects investigate diplomacy and accountability in nuclear waste management processes with a focus on policy makers, civil servants and civil society actors (Nuclear Diplomacy? and Managing Eternity?).
A newly funded research area (Nuclear Futures) will continue and further expand previous work on intergenerational ethics and ways to warn future subjects for radioactive hazards (Nuclear Memory) as well as on wider nuclear landscapes (Nuclearwaters), and their material and imaginative legacies (NuSPACES and Atomic Heritage).
Welcome to explore our ongoing and completed projects – and feel free to get in touch if you want to know more or collaborate with us.
