Linda Wollersheim

PhD Candidate at Deakin University, Melbourne, working with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) undertaking a comparative study that explores key policy and regulatory settings impacting on community access, operation and ownership of renewable energy technologies in Australia and Germany. My research explores concepts and practices of energy justice and energy democracy with an empirical focus on the role of communities in enacting low carbon transitions.

I am a casual academic in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Deakin University and volunteer as a Research Collaboration Coordinator at the Coalition for Community Energy (C4CE). I am passionate about facilitating the translation of research evidence into practice and policy, in Australia and beyond.
