Description

Sustaining critical infrastructure: the integral role of port workers. This project will investigate the integral work sustaining critical infrastructures for the safe, reliable movement of shipped goods. Maritime ports are key trading zones for the nation but also chokepoints facing geopolitical, economic and environmental disruptions. The project will take a place-based approach to understand how port workers interact, advance local environmental knowledge, and foster teamwork to ensure the circulation of goods amidst ever-present disruption risks. Expected outcomes include new insights on the workforce collaboration and knowledge required to cope with a more disruptive world, an evidence base for sustaining critical infrastructures, and recommendations for reproducing key skills in safety-critical domains.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4406 - Human Geography. Lead: Dr Andrew Warren
