Susanna Garside

I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Political and Social Sciences at European University Institute and a visiting scholar at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara (Fall 2023).

I research the politics of climate change, with a focus on the politics of climate-related natural disasters. I am a founding member of the EUI Environmental and Climate Politics Working Group and am actively engaged with the Climate Pipeline Project and the Environmental Politics and Governance Network.

I hold a BA in European Studies from Trinity College Dublin and an MA in EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies from the College of Europe in Bruges.
