Bhavna is an ARC DECRA fellow and as an environmental sociologist focuses her work on sustainable consumption in the context of food and waste using social practice theories. As a trained architect and urban and environmental planner, spatialities and just transitions have been important lenses and motivations in her work on sustainable consumption and most of her work is situated in and developed for urban contexts. Her DECRA project titled, “Tackling food-related single-use plastics in diverse consumption contexts” aims to investigate the uneven impacts of interventions that target consumers’ engagement with single-use food plastics by utilising critical social science approaches.
