Melanie Rohse

Dr Mel Rohse is a Research Fellow at the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University where she researches people’s everyday experiences and perceptions of environmental change, specifically in the energy and water sectors. Her work explores personal and collective narratives of transition and resilience in the context of sustainable energy and water consumption. Mel’s expertise is in the roles social and cultural elements play in adopting technologies and in transitioning to a safe and fair low carbon future. She brought this experience to WP4.1 of EnergyREV, where she supported the development of tools and methods to investigate user engagement with new technologies, with a focus on narratives and emotions. She also worked as part of the knowledge management, engagement and dissemination team to help deliver successful engagement with the wider public.
