Liz Carrigan

<sup>I’m a researcher and writer exploring the social and environmental dimensions of technology, and how tech, society, and the climate crisis intersect. I hold a Master’s in Global Studies and I am a PhD candidate in the binational Global Studies programme at Humboldt University Berlin and Universidad del Salvador in Argentina.

I have written for Tactical Tech, contributing to the series Digitized Divides: Revealing the Trade-Offs of a Tech-Dependent World, and for Global Voices, including The Green Transition’s Barren Footprint: Reckoning with the Reality of Rare-Earth Mining. My academic work includes Environmental Subjectivity Formation in Ecuador: Challenging Prevailing Notions of a ‘Green’ Transition.</sup>

^{I have carried out ethnographic fieldwork in Ecuador, worked with a women’s collective in rural Mexico, and collaborated with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation’s socio-ecological transition team in Mexico City. In a previous life, I worked as a visual designer in the UK and Australia, specialising in environmental design and wayfinding systems.}
