Ruth Woods
About
I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in social anthropology and the fine arts. This methodological and theoretical fascination with how and why things are made, and by whom, is supported by a socio-constructivist approach from science and technology studies (STS). I wrote my PhD thesis about the social role of public art, but since then my research interests have expanded to include, amongst others, the social side of buildings, neighbourhoods and cities; energy transitions; and climate change and co-creation. The "who" is central to my research, awareness of the different perspectives, approaches and practices that arise from our place in social groups, classes, our vulnerabilities and lived experience.
These themes and interests are based on fieldwork, case studies and living labs that have taken place in Norway, the UK and USA, in urban and rural environments.
