IKH PHD: Environmental storytelling
Doctoral School of Communication and Arts at Roskilde University
Course description:
How can research take shape as stories that matter, that can be felt, sensed and performed? Who and what can be(come) storytellers in our research? How do we grasp our own implicatedness in the topics we are researching, while addressing environmental and planetary concerns?
We invite PhD researchers working with multispecies ecologies, environmental topics and climate change. Your research could be related to sustainability and regeneration, indigenous knowledges, climate change, ecology, multispecies justice, waste and pollution, extraction and mining; and other themes. We also invite PhD fellows interested in entanglements of materiality, senses, affectivity and research as/through storytelling.
The course is collaborative, co-creative and arts- and practice-based. This means that a large part of our time together will be used engaging in experiments, exercises, work-sharings and multimodal conversations about each other’s research. We will work with the media that you work in, which might be text, audiovisual material, sound, movement and embodiment, archives, zines, crafts, landscape designs etc.
We welcome participants at all stages of their PhD, and from different backgrounds: humanities and social sciences; arts; design; theatre; architecture and more.
