Torik Holmes
Torik is a social scientist, with a hankering for social theory. He is based within the Sustainable Consumption Institute (SCI) at the University of Manchester. His research typically focuses on the socio-material dimensions of energy and resource demand, though he’s also written a little about the spatial genesis of casino gambling in Las Vegas. More broadly, he’s interested in social practices, infrastructures, space, and sustainability. He enjoys writing for writing’s sake, which is to say trying to make sense of stuff and covey meaning.
