About Benedict Singleton

I am senior lecturer in sociology. Most of my current teaching is part of the teacher-training programme. I am also part of the Formas research project Sustainable seafood in Sweden's new rural development. In this project I am analysing narratives of the Ostrobothnian herring quote.

More generally, my research applies Mary Douglas' cultural theory, through which I am also currently explore Science-ILK and other multidisciplinary collaborations, rituals of touch rugby and nature contact. In this latter stream I aspire to develop a nature-contact theory that aids planners seeking to foment ecological attitudes among participants. I thus have a wide range of theoretical expertise and interests and am open to enquiries regarding supervision from undergraduate to PhD level.
