PhD Researcher | FixOurFood, The University of York
Future research grants and projects, research focusing on meat and livestock reduction, power dynamics, and the future of the meat and livestock system
Rebecca Lait is a PhD student at the University of York researching how power dynamics shape meat and livestock reduction. After graduating with an undergraduate and master's degree in theoretical physics from the University of Manchester in 2020, Rebecca has worked as a researcher on a range of research, science communication and outreach projects including those focused on calculating and communicating environmental impacts of foods, designing and presenting food and climate workshops in schools and researching barriers to better procurement practices for the Yorkshire public food supply chain. Now, for her PhD research, she is working in the Transforming UK Food System's FixOurFood research group to get to the heart of how power dynamics in the meat and livestock system can be conceptualised and how they can shape meat and livestock reduction.
