Professor Maggie Mort
EmeritusResearch Interests
- A former journalist, I have a longstanding interest in citizen engagement in science and technology and recent interest in disaster studies and social/material vulnerability. These are reflected in my recent publications, '', and . I have worked predominently with ethnographic and participative methodologies, exploring how policy can be influenced by the experience of those it affects, most recently in relation to disaster, risk and emergency management. To this end, I coordinated the Horizon2020 project, CUIDAR: Cultures of Disaster Resilience among children and young people across Europe. This work follows directly from our ESRC Urgency research which was the first in depth exploration of children’s experiences of flooding in the UK. More broadly, working in the field of Science and Technology Studies I have focused on citizen, patient and workers' experience of technological change in healthcare such as the development of telemedicine and telecare, and what counts as innovation in health science and technology.
Recent projects include:
- CUIDAR: Cultures of Disaster Resilience Amongst Children and Young People EC H2020 Coordinator (UK, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Italy, with Save the Children).
- (ESRC Urgency Project)
- (with Celia Roberts & Adrian Mackenzie)
- Lost in Translation: Complexity, Risk and Resilience in Animal Disease Strategies - an inter-disciplinary evaluation of the natural and societal effectiveness of containment strategies for animal diseases (ESRC/NERC Rural Economy & Land Use Programme RELU).
- EFORTT: Ethical Frameworks for Telecare Technologies for Older People at Home, (EC FP7 Science in Society) Co-ordinator of collaborative research project
- Flood, vulnerability and resilience: a real-time study of local recovery following the floods of June 2007 in Hull (Environment Agency/ESRC)
- The Health & Social Consequences of the 2001 UK Foot & Mouth Disease Epidemic (Department of Health)
- Understanding Expertise in Anaesthesia (NHS R&D Fund)
Current Teaching
The doctoral studies I have recently supervised relate to making sense of biosensors, co-production of care services, telecare, patient safety and Bovine TB policy.
