Summary of research Working Title: Bodily Relationship to Place and the Tactical Need to Move- Global Justice Activism and Climate Change.
Working with global (social and environmental) justice activists based in Glasgow and Scotland generally, I am exploring the relationship and possible creative tensions between mobility and travel (resource sharing, solidarity building, face to face relationships) and imperatives to localize and remain "in place" in the face of climate change. This involves, alongside other more traditional methods, action research and a commitment to knowledge and skills exchange. As well, in delving into ethical and corporeal relationships to places of home, work, and potential activism as a co-participant, Forum Theatre workshops and variations on these techniques are a key component.
