Ms Jodie Bettis

I am a postgraduate researcher interested in the ecolegal geography of ecosystem protection in post-Brexit Britain. My PhD project uses corpus linguistics and interviews methods to assess post-Brexit environmental legislation for alignment with principles of ecocide law in different parts of the world, and I explore barriers to criminalising ecocide in England.                   

I am an alumnus of the Open University having completed a Diploma in Pollution Control, a BSc (Hons) Open, and an MA in Environment, Policy and Society whilst working in industry as a soil scientist, and in the third sector in environmental coalitions on national and international campaigns.
