Anna Jackman

Dr Anna Jackman is an Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University of Reading.

Anna is a political geographer interested in how robotic and digital technologies impact and reshape urban, everyday, and military space and life. Anna has led a range of funded research projects which have explored both the use of aerial drones by diverse communities (e.g. industry, police, local government, citizens) and the technology's wide-ranging implications, including noise, privacy, safety, security and legal issues and concerns. Anna is currently working with Dr Paul Cureton on a British Academy funded research project, 'Future drone skies: Planning in volume', which focuses on the impact of drones upon UK built environments and examines the implications of scaled drone activities for UK planning.
