Emmanuel Songsore is a PhD candidate in Geography and Environment and Sustainability at Western University. He is interested in understanding how a multiplicity factors (e.g., socio-political, technical, aesthetic and health concerns) and the interplay thereof influence wind energy deployment. His research also seeks to understand conflicting values among various policy stakeholders involved in the development of wind energy. His current PhD research explores the role of the media in influencing public perceptions of wind energy development (see Study 2).
