Holly is currently a PhD student, focussing on wild land and rewilding discourses throughout the Scottish Highlands. She is adopting an interdisciplinary approach for this research, using qualitative and quantitative methodologies to explore the rewilding visions of seventeen large-scale rural land holdings. Her interest in wild land debates has emerged from a passion for spending time in wild places, and outside of the PhD she tries to spend as much time in the mountains as possible.
