Practice As ResearchSonic postcards as an arts-based approach to encourage collaborationIn this session, we would like to discuss a recent project that explores some of the ways in which arts-based thinking and practice might intervene productively to support transformative action and environmental planning at the local level. A project with George Revill from the Open University used arts-based practice to find ways of opening up spaces of engagement. Our work was part of an attempt to find ways to use creative and co-produced materials more systematically within policy engagement. We co-produced a short sonic documentary called Fishing for Life, which is currently being hosted at the Wells Maltings Arts...2025-03-1658 minMaltings MattersMaltings Matters Podcast Episode 3Send us a text and tell us what you’d like to hear about in Maltings Matters!

Keen On AmericaEpisode 2076: Sir Tim Lankester on the promise, failure and legacy of Margaret Thatcher's monetarist revolutionThere will be a British general election on July 4. “The most consequential of our generation” no doubt many politicians will remind the voters. But almost exactly 45 years ago, there really was a profoundly consequential British election. Back in May 1979, Mrs Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative party won power in an election that ultimately changed everything about Britain.

Yet in spite of the economic failure of Thatc...2024-05-2833 min
