Isobel Akerman
PhD Candidate
I am a History PhD candidate at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the University of Cambridge interested in Environmental History. My thesis explores the integration of environmental thinking into the research, education, and outreach of botanic gardens since c.1960, and the wider uptake of these ideas among the public and policymakers.
