energy advice
narratives
across formal

contexts
2. Situating myself within the research
• My role
• Previous work
• Reflections which have
informed the research:
Professional experience with Citizens Advice
(a) privileged access to stories
of hardship and crisis
(b) the roles that various actors
play within such narratives,
be it positive or negative
(c) the context in which these
stories are told and set
3. Why energy advice?
Despite a growth in use, limited academic, political and policy
attention to date
Giving voice
Missing/limited perspectives of householders/consumers, as well as
those ‘able to get through the front door’ (trusted advisors)
Uncovering the informal other
Absence of non-institutional, ‘mundane’ energy advice and limited use
of naturalistic approaches
