Biography
Dr Becky Alexis-Martin joined academia after a successful prior career in emergency management.
Her research arises at the point where peace, science and technology, humanitarian aid, justice and human rights coalesce. Her research has tackled challenges including: modelling the behaviours of city-dwellers during nuclear events, understanding the lives of nuclear test veterans and their families, exploring the afterlives of nuclear bunkers, writing on the lived experiences of those scarred by nuclear accident and warfare, sharing the aesthetics of 1950s atomic America, and identifying the humanitarian and environmental needs of local nuclear weapons test affected communities worldwide.
Her first monograph, "Disarming Doomsday: The Human Impacts of Nuclear Warfare" was the recipient of the L.H.M. Ling Outstanding First Book Prize.
She is available for collaboration, consultancy, and PhD supervision.
