Cartography of Controversy
For many years now I have taught students a version of the cartography of controversy – a philosophy & methodology of Bruno Latour and Tomasso Venturini. I challenge them to map the components (actors) and interactions of a contemporary science-in-society issue.

Seeing Ecology through Arts Practice
By visualising relationships, using sensory pattern recognition, and ‘drawing to know’, we explore how arts practice can inform scientific questions… whereby observing, sensing, questioning, drawing, & imagining leads to hypothesising… In 2023 I taught this course on Mount Desert Island from

Combining Social Arts Practice and Conservation Management
One of my favourite, long-running projects, The Sandpit Collective is a collaboration I initiated to create social art projects designed to facilitate community engagement with environmental science issues both local and global. Its goals include creative workshop design and

Coastal Heritage, Community Resilience & Social Art
This project on Rakiura Stewart Island (at 46 S, one of the furthest south communities on earth) prompted reflection on deep time connections to the island & coastal surrounds through the idea of middens and an archaeological perspective. See hear

MeetingStream: An experiment in recognising environmental personhood
For several months I visited a small stream near daily – trying different creative ways to consider their agency and animacy, to listen and respond in building a relationship with them. It was also an experiment in sensitising myself to big

2º different: ARTiculation of change
We are ‘far too mammalian’ to really understand the effect of a 2˚ increase in environmental temperature. We don’t innately ‘get it’, and thus are incapable of empathy with the vast majority of organisms on this planet that are ectotherms

Climate Change & Ocean Health
For many years, my biological research on the effect of ocean warming focused on development and dispersal in Antarctic fish. Impacts of Southern Ocean warming on marine connectivity: Integrating oceanographic modelling with molecular ecology and developmental biology was a major project I designed collaboratively

A Sea View
The ocean connects all … that was long our paradigm of marine connectivity (particularly if you have a planktonic stage). The paradigm of high marine connectivity led us to misunderstandings in population biology and marine ecology, and long excused overfishing, marine
