Biography

Rosalind Cavaghan is an Emma Goldman Fellow (Flax Foundation) and a visiting scholar at the School of Social and Political Science, University of Edinburgh. Her research interests focus on the processes that maintain intersectional hierarchies in Europe, with thematic areas intersecting economic policy, climate breakdown, and the role of science and technology.

She is a member of the core team of GENDER.ED and serves as a liaison for the Edinburgh Earth Initiative, managing projects that promote an understanding of the intersectional impacts of STEMM knowledge. Her recent publications include a co-authored article in the Journal of Common Market Studies examining the epistemological foundations of social reproduction and gender budgeting activism.

Additionally, she works extensively as a consultant for clients including USAID and the Scottish Government.
