Year 2: PI continued fieldwork trips to Colorado and the supervision of PhDs1 and 2. PhD1 began fieldwork with Equinor and other oil companies in Norway in Aug 2018 (as per Description of the action). PI recruited Postdoc1 to start Sep 2018. PhD2 began fieldwork with divestment activists in the UK in Nov 2018 (slightly delayed start date of PhD led to slightly delayed start date of fieldwork. However, PhD2 is on time in relation to her PhD start date. No delay). PI visited PhD1 during her fieldwork and maintained close supervision of fieldwork progress through field reports and Skype meetings. In Jan 2019 Postdoc1 started fieldwork with energy analysts and oil financiers in Houston. PI has maintained close contact with Postdoc1 during fieldwork and made a field visit in July 2019. PI recruited Postdoc2 to start in April 2019. In June 2019 Postdoc2 began fieldwork with oil companies in Ghana and PI has maintained close contact through field reports and Skype meetings.
Year 3: PhD2 returned from fieldwork in January 2020 and Postdoc1 returned from fieldwork in February 2020. PI, PhD2 and Postdoc1 now meet regularly for the ENERGY ETHICS writing-up seminars. The PI plans to visit Postdoc2 in the field in May 2020. PhD1, Postdoc1 and PI are organising the first major project event, which will take place 1-2 April 2020.
