معرفی
Niamh Moore is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh. Her work spans multiple interdisciplinary fields including ecofeminism, feminist theory, research ethics, and sustainability studies. She is actively involved in community-based participatory research and has established herself as a leading scholar in more-than-human research approaches.
Moore's research interests center on 're-visioning' an eco/feminist politics of sustainability through three interrelated foci: (i) sustaining a more-than-human world, (ii) sustaining research and research data, and (iii) sustaining communities and movements (feminism). Her holistic approach links environmental sustainability with human and non-human health and well-being, exploring how research practices might be reworked to sustain a more-than-human world. She has particular expertise in ecofeminism, feminist theory, ethics and research practices, sustainability, women's movements, archives, research methodology, oral history, community-based participatory research, queer theory, interdisciplinary research, transdisciplinary research, and narrative research.
Moore has supervised numerous PhD students, both current and completed, reflecting her commitment to mentoring the next generation of scholars. Her current PhD students include Thalia Assan, Nyrema Baptiste, Lara Bochman, Ruth Griggs, Emma Grove, Nuria Lopez Vazquez, Andy Marks, Tara Peggram, and Claire Perier. Her completed PhD students include Katherine Baxter, Shelly Coyne, Martina Karels, Maggie Morrison, Nathalia Salamanca Sarmiento, and Laura Wright. She is keen to supervise students interested in ecofeminism, feminist histories, queer studies, community food growing, sustainability, activism, grassroots and community archives, as well as those with interests in methodologies including oral history, archival research, visual methods, community-based participatory research, and more-than-human approaches to research.
Her recent publications show a clear trajectory toward innovative approaches to data ethics and archiving, particularly through her ESRC-funded project 'Reanimating Data: Experiments with people, places, archives' and the 'Clayoquot Lives: An Ecofeminist Story Web' open dataset. Moore's work increasingly focuses on DIY academic archiving, inventive ethics of care, and rematriating feminist research, reflecting her commitment to unsettling traditional research practices and creating more ethical, community-centered knowledge production.
