Hannah Mortimer
Postgraduate Researcher
Sociology
About me:
I am a fourth year PhD student in Sociology and part of the Wellcome Trust funded interdisciplinary project, 'From Feed the Birds to Do Not Feed the Animals' (https://animalfeeding.org/).
My thesis investigated animal feeding practices on regenerative livestock farms in Devon, particularly how multi-species feeding is connected to caring and the notion of 'good farming'.
I graduated with BA (Hons) Archaeology and Anthropology With Study Abroad from University of Exeter in 2017. I completed an MSc in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology from Leiden University in 2019.
