About Adam Standring
Adam Standring is a postdoctoral researcher in Environmental Sociology with a PhD in Political Science (specializing in Public Policy) from Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal and an MA in Politics from the University of York, UK.
His current research focuses on the politics of knowledge production in the construction of climate expertise, particularly in relation to the IPCC. His broader research interests include poststructural discourse analysis, political ontology and multi-level/spatial politics. He has published on a variety of topics including drug policy, housing, austerity and European integration in journals such as the European Journal of Political Research, Critical Policy Studies, Policy & Politics and Environment and Planning C – the last of which he is currently co-editing a special issue on ‘the Anti-politics of Austerity’.
