Rachel McKane
Assistant Professor of Sociology, Brandeis University
Rachel McKane is an environmental sociologist with research and teaching interests in environmental justice, spatial inequality, urban political economy, and mutual aid.
Their primary research agenda explores the connection between environmental justice and processes of urban change rooted in racial capitalism, city development, and present and historic housing inequality. This research agenda is driven by a broad set of questions, including: What are the spatial and temporal scales of urban environmental justice struggles? How can multiscalar analyses guide cities towards centering justice in their sustainability efforts? This work applies a critical environmental justice (CEJ) lens to interconnected ecological and urban crises by deepening our understanding of the spatial and temporal scales of environmental justice struggles. Their most recent project explores the environmental legacy of redlining, racially restrictive covenants, and residential segregation.
Professor McKane’s secondary research agenda explores community-based approaches to environmental justice through networks of solidarity and mutual aid. One manuscript, forthcoming at Environmental Justice, brings critical environmental justice into closer conversation with critical disability studies by exploring how disabled communities, predominantly queer, trans, and BIPOC, leverage mutual aid as adaptive strategy to climate change.
After obtaining their PhD from Vanderbilt University, they worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Brown University in the Population Studies and Training Center (PSTC) in the Spatial Structures in the Social Sciences (S4) program on projects pertaining to redlining, housing inequality, and residential segregation. They also contributed to the Longitudinal Tract Data Base (LTDB), a public-use tool that harmonizes spatial boundaries of historic and contemporary data from the U.S. Census.
Professor McKane’s articles appear in Environmental Research Letters, Environmental Justice, Environmental Sociology, Local Environment, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, Cities, Environmental Politics, Energy Research and Social Science, Social Science History, and Mobilization.

Rachel Minto
Research Associate - Brexit and UK devolved politics, Cardiff University
I joined the Wales Governance Centre in October 2016 to undertake research into Brexit and UK devolved politics. Building on my background in EU politics and governance, I am now addressing questions surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU and the implications this will have for the politics and governance of a post-devolution UK. I'm particularly interested in exploring Brexit from a governance perspective, beyond focusing exclusively on what Brexit will mean in legal terms. I have recently been undertaking research into European networks and what Brexit will mean for UK-based actors who currently participate within these.
Most recent conference presentation: 'Advancing UK agendas through European networks: Agency, opportunity structures and the hidden European Polity', Political Studies Association: Theorising Brexit, 28th March 2018, research with Dr Paul Copeland (Queen Mary University of London)
Prior to joining the Wales Governance Centre, my research focused on EU politics and governance, as part of the Centre for European Law and Governance. From January 2013, I was a Research Associate on the project “Law, Science and Interests in European Policy-making” (LASI), an interdisciplinary research project funded by the European Research Council (PI: Prof. Stijn Smismans). As part of this project, I focused on horizontal governance practices, specifically the Commission's Integrated Impact Assessment, policy evaluation and mainstreaming. I also undertook some sector-specific work for the project, focusing on processes of participation and the use of different types of expertise within European employment policy; including the creation and use of employment indicators.
As a complement to this governance research, I have a particular interest in gender and equality. This research builds largely on my PhD thesis on gender mainstreaming in the EU.

Rachel Morello-Frosch
Professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management and of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley
My research focuses on environmental health and environmental justice. I am particularly interested in addressing the double jeopardy faced by communities of color and the poor who experience high exposures to environmental hazards and who are more vulnerable to the toxic effects of pollution due to poverty, malnutrition, discrimination, and underlying health conditions. How do matters of race and class affect distributions of environmental health risks in the United States? What are the causes and consequences of environmental disparities and health inequalities? How can research create "upstream" opportunities for intervention and disease prevention? I am also interested in evaluating the influence of community participation on environmental health research, science, regulation, and policy-making, as well as in developing methods to foster community-based participatory research.

Rachel Bezner Kerr
Professor, Global Development, Cornell University
Rachel has four major areas of research: 1) historical, political and social roots of the food system in Malawi;
2) sustainable agriculture, food security and social processes in rural Africa; 3) social relations linked to health and nutritional outcomes and 4) local knowledge and climate change adaptation.
Her general approach to food systems has been holistic, interdisciplinary and collaborative, drawing from both the natural and social sciences, including collaborations with those working in agricultural and nutritional science, public health and ecology. Most of her research is also applied, community-based and participatory, involving local organizations and community members addressing ways to develop a sustainable food system. In her work, she pays attention to different scales of a problem, as well as the historical roots that shape contemporary realities. She also studies discursive framings of food issues, using post-structural and feminist theory as well as political ecology to explore agricultural practices and policies in southern Africa. Concepts drawn from agroecology, public health and international nutrition have also been important in her research. Her long-term collaborative research project has shown evidence-based improvement in nutrition, food security and soil management from agroecological practices in Malawi and Tanzania.
