Carry Van Lieshout

I joined the OU as a Lecturer in Geography in March 2020. My research is in historical geography. Infrastructures, practices and institutions can take a long time to change, and what was created in the past often influences our behaviour and attitudes today. Through the study of historical interactions between people and their environments I aim to develop a better understanding of current institutions and practices. My main work has focused on the management of water, both in cities and in industrial environments, and on the role of women in business and finance. At the Open University I have contributed to the production of D225 (Changing Geographies of a United Kingdom) and D325 (Researching Geographies), and I am a member of the presentation teams of DD213 (Environment and Society) and DD103 (Investigating the Social World). I am also the PhD Convenor for Geography.
