Dr Abigail Martin - Challenge 5

Abigail Martin received a Ph.D. in Environmental Science, Policy and Management from the University of California, Berkeley, with a certificate in Science & Technology Studies (STS) from the Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society. Her research centers on questions of how capitalism shapes, and is shaped by struggles over resources and controversial technologies in agricultural, extractive and power production networks, including: biofuel development in the US and Brazil; biofuel sustainability standards-setting and LCA as a regulatory science; advancing environmental justice and economic equity in climate policy; cooperative and commons-based deployment of solar PV; fracking and natural gas production in the US, UK and Argentina; and the social and environmental implications of industrial decarbonization.

She has held visiting professor appointments in Environmental Health and Development at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health and San Francisco State University; Community and Regional Development at the University of California—Davis; and Environmental Policy at the Mills College Lokey School of Business and Public Policy. As a Chancellor's Public Fellow in Community-Engaged Scholarship at UC Berkeley, she developed undergraduate curriculum in service to community-based environmental justice advocacy organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. She also maintains an active research agenda on environmental health education for sustainability innovations in chemistry, engineering and product design.

She is a member of the Sussex Energy Group, AAG, AESS, the Society for Social Studies of Science, and a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley.
