Linda Ross (Editor)

Linda Ross is a researcher focusing on the fusion of technological, social and cultural histories, with a specialism in nuclear energy. Her current research expands on themes developed during her PhD study with the University of the Highlands and Islands and Historic Environment Scotland, where she examined the social and cultural impact of the Dounreay Experimental Research Establishment on the far north of Scotland. She has worked on postdoctoral projects with the University of Glasgow and Kingston University, where she was part of the NuSPACES team. Latterly, whilst working with Keele University, she co-developed a methodology to help incorporate creative practice into nuclear decommissioning.
