Anna Jackman

Lecturer in Human Geography, University of Reading

Anna is a Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Reading. She is feminist political geographer interested in technological visibilities, volumes, relations and futures. Anna's current work approaches these issues through the lens of the drone, exploring the 'unmanning' of everyday, urban and military life in drone age. Anna led an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) New Investigator Award (December 2021 – July 2023). ‘Diversifying drone stories’ explored the ways in which the drone is (re)shaping UK airspace, with a focus on aerial (in)securities and harms.
