KCL Arts and Humanities Environmental Humanities Network/ Film Studies Funded Workshop
This workshop aims to share pioneering research, and pedagogies behind education offered in Film Studies: in particular, on food, vegetal life and ‘more-than-human’ worlds. Through this conversation, we would like to forge a new relationship between the human subject and environment and further to be informed by researchers and experts in the Faculty and College. The conversation goes beyond the academics to share the insights of a vegan chef, a KCL alumni, and of a creative producer who must invent and create a new facet of practice in the culinary and art world. The workshop will highlight various possibilities to consider an inclusive, mutually-informed relationship between research, education and practice – or ways of living.
