Zsuzsanna Ihar is a PhD candidate in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge. Her PhD, titled Armed and Arable: The Greening of a Cold-War Archipelago (1942-2022), explores the ongoing militarisation of Scotland’s West Highlands and Hebridean archipelago, with specific interest in local knowledge-making practices and the mobilisation of scientific expertise to justify particular strategies of land management and use. She works across garrison towns, disused army bases, reclaimed conservation areas, as well as former military trial sites. Zsuzsanna’s broader research interests include institutional activism, the agricultural history of empire, and lay (community) science initiatives.
