Student of the master program “Environmental Management” at the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel. He is currently focusing on socio-technical imaginaries within the hydrogen energy transition in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Since Northern Germany has huge potentials for renewable energy production, the construction of a hydrogen energy infrastructure in Schleswig-Holstein is on its way. Ravn is researching the social and power relationships between the hydrogen transition expert-groups and the locally affected society with a special interest on the hydrogen infrastructure project “Westküste100” in Heide.

Country/Region of interest/research focus: France, Thailand, Germany/Schleswig-Holstein, STS research in hydrogen technologies

Dr. Liv Yoon’s research is at the intersection of climate change, social inequity, and health, with a focus on community engagement work. As a social scientist, she approaches climate change as a sociopolitical crisis. Her research is focused on taking climate change as an opportunity to challenge the status quo and promote structural changes that alleviate social inequities that both led to, and are exacerbated by, the climate crisis.

Dr. Yoon obtained her Ph.D. at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, in Sociocultural Kinesiology. Her training in socio-cultural studies informs her to think about bodies in sociopolitical context. Applied to climate change, this means thinking about how some bodies are considered more ‘dispensable’, and in turn, rendered more vulnerable to climate-related risks and pollution.

She is a Fellow with the New York City Panel on Climate Change – Health Working Group, a member of the Community Engagement Core at the Center for Environmental Health in Northern Manhattan, and member of Columbia University’s Environmental Justice and Climate Just Cities (EJCJC).

Country/Region of interest/research focus: North America (but not limited to it)
