Rachel Aldred
I am a Senior Lecturer in Transport, and joined Westminster in September 2012 from the University of East London, where I lectured in Sociology. From January 2013 I will lead the MSc Transport Planning and Management. I am particularly interested in sustainable mobilities, and have published widely in this area. A key interest is around intersections between social and environmental justice, as well as potential tensions between the two.
I was primary investigator on the ESRC-funded Cycling Cultures project, which explored cultures of cycling in four English urban areas, using a mix of mainly qualitative methods. I have also recently completed a small project on new cycling advocacy in London, using interviews, ethnographic observations, and online surveys. Another previous project has examined European policies around cars and CO2. Two upcoming projects will develop new approaches to transport modelling. I have started work on a new ESRC-funded seminar series entitled Modelling on the Move which seeks to contribute to transport modelling in the context of sustainability transitions, drawing on social science and health perspectives. I supervise several PhD students and am interested in hearing from prospective PhD students. I sit on the editorial collective of Critical Social Policy and regularly peer review articles for a range of journals and book collections. Recently, I have been invited to speak to the Greater London Assembly and to the Scottish Government based on my research.

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.

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.
