We are committed to investigating entangled relationalities between humans and their environments. Our transdisciplinary research traces the sensory experiences, narratives, and imaginative activities that emerge from encounters in more-than-human worlds. Our goal is to nurture a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness and mutual becoming of the world and to generate liveable, sustainable, and ethical pedagogies for regenerative futures.
