Area of expertise:

Domestic consumption 

Research keywords:

Sustainability, consumption, social practices

Research mission:

Finding out how and why we use water in our everyday life.

Subject presentation:

I am investigating why cleanliness expectations are increasing despite our raising awareness of the imperative to save water and energy. To do this I am using domestic water and energy consumption, time use surveys, observations and interviews. This multimodal approach provides a strong base for observing social phenomena's impact on the environment.

Likes/dislikes in research:

I like having the chance to explore problems and more deeply understand why we are facing challenges with water.
