Lee Towers

Dr Lee Towers is a postdoctoral researcher at the Teesside University.

The goal of Towers' current research is to ensure the energy transition, which the world is slowly entering, is one which enhances societal justice by decentralising infrastructure and decision-making and recognising the life-cycle impacts of energy decisions.

More specifically, his research examines various aspects of the environment, such as intra & intergenerational democracy and justice, ecological economics, political ecology and sustainable development. His PhD examined energy justice and the UK's energy transition with a focus on community energy. He wrote his MSc dissertation on public perceptions of risk versus formal risk analysis on fracking.
