Description

Understanding place-based repair in climate-affected communities. Community-based repair work is a vital but often overlooked aspect of responding to the impacts of climate change and to mitigating the increasing costs of disasters. Through storytelling and creative methodologies, this project will document, map and analyse how people are responding to environmental change through diverse, locally attentive practices of repair. Generating understandings of the nature of repair work for researchers, governments and communities, as well as practical tools, guides and resources, the project will contribute to improved strategies and actions for more inclusive and equitable community-led responses to climate change.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4702 - Cultural Studies. Lead: Prof Emily Potter
