Our projects
Regional Transitions Lab
The Regional Transitions Lab is a academia-government collaborative effort currently under construction. The RTL will provide space and funding for several researchers from both the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) branches to work collaboratively on sustainability projects at a regional or multi-regional scale.
Biodegradable plastic: A false 'cure'
An investigation into the use of biodegradable plastic in agriculture as a proposed solution to the microplastic problem. Experiments looked at microplastic levels in soil, conducting comparisons between barley growth within contaminated areas and barley grown in 'clean' soil.
The Monstrant: Performing Ahuman Becoming
This project looks into topics around the use of Monstrosity, exploring themes of posthumanism, continental philosophy, transfeminism, and queer theory. Designed to be transdisciplinary and intersectional throughout, with outputs delivered via a blended traditional-academic and live performance-based model.
