Research interests

Hannah鈥檚 research examines key contemporary aspects of the political economy of hunger, with a focus on the UK and comparatively across Europe. Her work explores responses to household food insecurity by different actors including the state, charitable organisations and corporations. Hannah's current research is focused on food support in adult social care services (funded by the NIHR). Recent projects include research into the relationships between food corporations and food charities in the UK (funded by the Leverhulme Trust). As well as research mapping and monitoring responses to risks of household food insecurity across the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic (ESRC funded). Prior to this, Hannah's work has looked at the rise and dynamics of food bank systems in the UK and Europe, interventions designed to support children's access to food, and intersections between household access to food and access to energy.
