Nohah Forde

PhD Candidate

Nohah Forde is a full-time doctoral student based in Ōtautahi/Christchurch at the University of Canterbury. She is currently undertaking interdisciplinary study focused on exploring where the responsibility for climate adaptation lies and the role of inter-professional communication in this.

This research lies at the intersection of risk communication, risk governance and public policy, and she splits her time between the Media and Communication, and the Civil Systems Engineering Department to undertake this work.

Her work is inspired by previous experience in working in local government and corporate communication; where at the heart of all successful interdisciplinary collaboration and leadership is communication.
