research programme

about

My research programme consists of linking international researchers interested in producing scholarship across the  intersections of the natural and social sciences, humanities, and the arts. We form part of the radical humanities laboratory at UCC and its key research themes in environmental humanities, intersectional humanities, and artistic research. 

prospective team members

If you are already an established researcher, please contact me directly with an expression of interest or proposal. If you are a graduate student or prospective graduate student, please familiarize yourself with the Radical Humanities Laboratory and the School of the Human Environment (specifically the department of geography's graduate program). Afterwards, please contact me with a short description of your research interests and your CV. 

mission 

To explore engagements between societies and their environments—especially how they understand and influence each other—in order to make creative space for societies and people to learn and engage (and do so) radically (as needed) with humans and other beings. 

vision

To expose how humans are literally and imaginatively enlaced, stuck, or even fused with processes, things, or beings we don’t typically regard as human and to enliven our understanding of other beings and places as dynamic. The means to accomplish this vision involve using interdisciplinary research to contextualize environmental challenges, offer critical correctives, and co-create pathways (Fecher et al. 2021) for developing equitable socio-ecological relations.

values

We aim to produce research characterized by equity, accountability, openness, inclusivity, and experimentation. We acknowledge the influence of scholarship in environmental humanities and critical theories (e.g., feminist, indigenous, disability) in shaping our values as well as those who have pioneered and use similar values in research (e.g.,  CLEAR Lab).
