She completed her Master\u2019s in Nature, Society and Environmental Governance at the University of Oxford, where her interest in the social dimensions of environmental change and energy systems first took shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her research explores what it means to live with energy transitions, with particular attention to how communities experience, respond to, and sustain everyday life through ongoing socio-technical change. This work focuses on communities living alongside nuclear infrastructure, examining how repeated and long-term transformations shape local attachments, practices of care, and responses to change. Drawing on empirical research in the Sellafield area, she is interested in how histories of industrial and environmental change inform contemporary engagements with nuclear energy and future transitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-885\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:250px;height:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/nuclear-societies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/319\/2026\/05\/f07a4c2c-3fc5-438d-8a63-ea48816851c2-edited.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>More broadly, her research contributes to work on the social dimensions of energy transitions, highlighting the lived, relational, and place-based aspects of change in communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctoral Researcher Caitlin Mullin is a PhD researcher at the University of Exeter, working at the intersection of energy transitions, community, and care.
