Background: Sue's PhD research, funded by the ESRC, looks at contemporary approaches to taxonomy and biodiversity, and how these are oriented around four co-ordinates that she has identified as counting, selling, loving and saving. Her interest in this topic arose from her experience of training to be a taxonomist at the Natural History Museum, London, and from some experience of doing entomological field work.
