Climate Justice & Experiential Education
A Hands-on Approach to Building a Better Future
How are climate change, migration, and knowledge production historically interrelated? In a series of workshops, students from Tilburg University developed new ways to discuss the role of institutions in relation to issues of climate justice. In this Diggit Magazine article, I share my experiences and elaborate on theories regarding climate justice and experiential education.
Documentary Podcast
Listen to my conversation with Paul Rowley and Nicky Gogan on The Irish Itinerary podcast. They talk about their documentaries Seaview (2008), Build Something Modern (2011) and The Red Tree (2018). In discussing their journeys into filmmaking, Paul and Nicky trace how they came to Seaview’s experimental style, which challenges the aesthetics of documentaries while foregrounding asylum seekers’ experiences. Community projects Paul and Nicky did with residents at the DP centre in Mosney while filming Seaview inform and deepen the inverse connection Seaview has with Build Something Modern. Paul and Nicky also share insights into their more recent and future projects, including a documentary about gun violence in the USA and writing scripts for film and television.

In-depth Reflections on Feminism
The Dutch blog site Tussenwoord hosts in-depth reflections on various topics, ranging from literature to philosophy and politics. In “Zo bedoelde ik het niet!” and “Wil je gezien worden voor meer dan je lichaam?” I offer everyday explanations of what academics mean by feminism and the descriptive turn for the non-specialist Dutch reader.
