Anna Davidson

Dr Davidson is a Lecturer in Human Geography in the Department of Biological and Geographical Sciences at the University of Huddersfield. Her research centres on the intersections of social justice and sustainability, with a particular focus on critical theory and feminist geographies. In 2017 she completed her PhD (University of Oxford) on the body and relations of power in urban cycling in Los Angeles. Using multi-method qualitative research this project investigated the linkages between cycling and gentrification, unequal urban exposures and neoliberal subjectivities - as well as movements to resist these. She has worked on individual and collaborative research projects relating to sustainable consumption, car sharing, freight and automation and parenting and urban mobility. More broadly, her research interests are in feminist and queer theory on body-environment relations and methodological questions on the ethics, aesthetics and politics of knowledge production.
