Professor Heather Campbell: PhD students

I have a long-standing commitment to the development of doctoral education and early career academics in planning. I have been asked to act as a mentor at two AESOP PhD Workshops in Norway and France and as a lead professor at the AESOP Young Academics Network Conference in the Czech Republic and was the co-programme leader for the first PhD Workshop in South Africa in 2006.

ESRC PhD studentships have been awarded to 8 of the doctoral students for which I have acted as the primary supervisor and 5 as a secondary supervisor, including studies investigating the application of discourse analysis to environmental policy making in local government; the extent to which the changing nature of local governance is influencing the development plan process; an investigation of the ethical issues and power relationships in development control; sustainability and planning policies; an examination of the exercise of discourse and power in public participation strategies; an investigation of the concept of institutional racism in relation to consultation processes in planning; and consideration of the changing nature of professional identities in town planning.
