Dr Will Eadson BA (Hons), MA, PhD

Will's central research interests lay around urban and regional sustainability and energy transitions, with particular interest in the position of local economies that might be vulnerable or exposed to changes in policy or the economic value of carbon emissions.

Currently Will’s academic work in this field centres on two themes: understanding economic geographies of low carbon transition (in particular jobs and skills implications); and exploring different ideas about urban democracy within the context of sustainability transitions.

Funded research on the economic geographies of low carbon transition includes work with a number of City Regions to understand economic potential of low carbon transitions, including current projects with Sheffield City Region to understand the supply chain and employment implications of investment in low carbon energy initiatives (in particular low carbon heat), and to develop a Just Transition framework within a city-regional context.

Research on urban and regional governance and democracy has been a longstanding theme of work, stretching back to Will’s PhD on regional governance and carbon reduction through to more recent work exploring ideas about sustainability, infrastructure and democracy, for instance through research into community energy and into the role of social enterprises in delivering critical urban services such as utilities, transport, housing, green space, finance and care.

Over the last five years Will has also led a programme of work around the future of urban green space, including two on-going research projects for the National Lottery Heritage Fund, focusing on exploring new funding, governance and management arrangement to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Will is Director of the White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership Cities, Environment and Liveability pathway. He is also the environment and society editor of Geography Compass, associate editor of Regional Studies, Regional Science journal, and chair of the Regional Studies Association Yorkshire and Humber branch.
