Arts-based methods are becoming increasingly recognised as a valuable tool in sustainability science. This workshop will provide insight into how art can be utilised to foster knowledge coproduction and promote diverse perspectives in different social-ecological contexts. The objectives are to inspire creative research approaches and stimulate engaging discussions in a relaxed environment where attendees can enjoy creating art together. This workshop is inspired by a course on 'Valuing nature: Reflecting on transdisciplinary methods' that was co-developed and led by Stefan Ortiz-Przychodzka and Dr Jasmine Pearson at Leuphana University of Lüneburg, Germany.

This open workshop is free to attend. Early Career Researchers and students are particulary encouraged to attend, but all are welcome. Sign up here.

The 2024 Resilience Alliance short course is being offered in collaboration with NSERC ResNet and The Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS).

The week-long immersive course will run from August 5-9, 2024 at Le Baluchon Éco-villégiature, near Montreal, Canada. Course participants will benefit from a small-group format and an intensive learning-by-doing program that draws on the expertise of scholars in resilience and sustainability research networks.

The course will focus on research methods that are commonly used in studying social-ecological systems, with a special emphasis on participatory and place-based methods. Drawing on The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods for Social-Ecological Systems, the course offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from leaders in the field, whilst connecting with other students and early-career researchers from around the world.

Applications for this course are now closed, and course participants have been selected. For more information.
