Biography

Lydia Martens is Professor of Sociology in the School of Social, Political and Global Studies at Keele University. Her work has focused on consumption and food, mundane domestic practices, and intergenerational relationships, in research that has been methodologically innovative and informed by practice theories, feminist and more-than-human perspectives. In the past decade, Professor Martens has applied these interests to the challenges of environmental decline. She is currently a Leverhulme Major Research Fellow and investigates fish-bird-human entanglements and the complexities of human-nature disconnections to inform an analysis of the challenges inherent in shifting towards a world of marine environmental flourishing. Professor Martens sits on the ESRC Peer Review College and is a member of the Food Standards Agency’s Register of Specialists in the Social Sciences.
