Mary Dodd

Biography

Mary joined Corporate Citizenship (now part of SLR) following policymaking at the Scottish Government, where she worked on developing policy and research on Just Transition to Net Zero principles and actions around transport use in Scotland. In this role, Mary contributed to driving forward the Just Transition agenda and implementing a cross-cutting policy portfolio which embedded JT at the core of Scottish climate action (both within and outside the SG), particularly through the Transport sector’s interventions in key areas of social policy.

As a political theorist, Mary's academic work has focused on analysing modes of democratic participation in the public sphere. Her doctoral thesis in International Relations – conducted at the University of St Andrews, where she was also an Associate Fellow of the Centre for Global Law and Governance – examined constitutionalism beyond legal codification, particularly by re-evaluating exercises of constituent power. Mary is a member of the UNESCO Inclusive Policy Lab, and of the St Andrews Network for Climate, Energy, Environment and Sustainability.
