Linda Ross

Biography

Linda's work is dedicated to the fusion of technological, social and cultural histories. This has characterised her career as a curator and researcher, where her focus has been on the heritage of industrial communities and nuclear energy-related societies respectively. Having completed a PhD which established a new framework for studying local-national dichotomies in nuclear projects, and undertaken postdoctoral research covering nuclear cultural heritage, protest and waste, she foregrounds nuclear communities in her work. This is particularly the case in her current project, 'More Than A Half-Life: Communities, Heritage and Decommissioning', which examines relationships between communities and the nuclear industry, and how these have changed over time.
