Steve Harry is a lecturer and personal tutor in the Department of Geography, King’s College London and a visiting scholar in the Department of Political Economy, King’s College London. His current work includes teaching on the Climate Change: Environment, Science and Policy MSc, and he has previously worked in research and teaching posts in the Department of Political Economy (King’s) and the Department of International Development (King’s).Working across the interdisciplinary fields of human-environment geography, political ecology, island studies and environmental labour studies, Steve’s research examines geographical understandings of climate change and the contested geographies of socio-energy system change, with a particular interest in how energy landscapes are conceived, produced, lived and contested at a time of climate crisis. Steve is developing and expanding this research agenda through work on climate obstruction and delay, climate/energy justice and (un)just transitions, energy and labour geographies in the global North and South, and the ‘techno-politics’ of energy infrastructural change.
