Hannah鈥檚 research examines key contemporary aspects of the political economy of hunger, with a focus on the UK and comparatively across Europe. Her work explores responses to household food insecurity by different actors including the state, charitable organisations and corporations. Hannah's current research is looking at relationships between food corporations and food charities in the UK (funded by the Leverhulme Trust). Recent projects include research mapping and monitoring responses to risks of household food insecurity across the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic (ESRC funded 2020-2023). Prior to this, Hannah's work has looked at the rise and dynamics of food bank systems in the UK and Europe, interventions designed to support children's access to food, and intersections between household access to food and access to energy.
