Edinburgh College of ArtEARTH Research Scholar
Apr. 2023 - Aug. 2023Edinburgh, Scotland, United KingdomThe British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships is a programme run by SGSAH (Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities) with funding from the British Council to enable international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Scotland-based academic mentors, and external organisations, thematically focused on environmental arts and humanities and their interdisciplinary connections. During my EARTH Scholarship exchange, I investigated how the embodied individual and collective experiences of time and changing seasons help environmental researchers better attune to local specificities of the climate crisis. Based at the Edinburgh College of Art of the University of Edinburgh, I will use multispecies ethnographic methods to explore of local ecologies, literary and performing arts, myths and stories, along with body-centred practices to contextualize Scottish experiences of nature in Ravelston Woods, Arthur’s Seat and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Through direct immersion into these cultural and ecological landscapes, I explored methodologies that show how situating the body as part of ecosystems can transform environmental imaginaries, ethics, and praxis.
