Hannah's work explores how culturally relevant digital technologies can help communities address local issues that matter to them.
She is currently researching the use of story-trekking and innovative technologies. Her work focuses on co-collaborative recording and management of Indigenous and local cultural landscapes put at risk by climate change. This work aims to examine how community-led projects can strike a beneficial balance between local communities, experts, and environments.
With the Extreme Citizen Science research group, Hannah supports the development of image-based geographic analysis and visualisation tools (ECSAnVis). She also explores how Higher Education Institutions can collaborate with citizens to create better societies (HEIDI). Hannah works with public sector organisations, social enterprises, and charities. She also leads the zooarchaeological analysis for the community-based archaeological project SHARP.
Hannah's research looks at the definition of "specialist" knowledge in landscape management. This includes understanding the importance of Indigenous and community epistemologies and ontologies. Her key interests include community-directed research, Indigenous sovereignty, cultural routes and landscapes, traditional ecological knowledge, and the social importance of environments. She explores the relationships between these places, biota, and people.
