Environmental Keywords – interdisciplinary conversations

ClimateCultures is working with the University of Bristol’s Centre for Environmental Humanities on a short project to explore interdisciplinary meanings of some keywords in our climate and biodiversity crisis. Our online materials complement recent workshops for researchers, community groups and creative practitioners. See our project pages for five blog posts in the series and three pages of more than 25 creative contributions from our members – including an original response to ‘Environmental Resilience‘ from poet and artist Jennifer Leach. More soon!
