A couple of years ago I was working from my parents’ kitchen table, responding to emails while my mother ground, or washed, or stirred. I was absorbed in my task and only half-present when I was recalled by my mother asking me why I was smiling. And this is how I discovered that when I […]
This blog post was created through the joined efforts of Beth Smith and Anna Panagiotou. If you are following our work and social media, you have probably heard about Estuarine Mapping. Estuarine Mapping explores what our current environment does and doesn’t allow us to do. The ultimate purpose is to change the environment so that the […]
I might not write another blog in the MassSense series for a while, so I wanted this one to be a banger: an expanded exploration, twice as long as usual and focusing on more than one insight. As a reminder, this series draws from an open-source situational assessment we ran in 2020 and 2021 as […]

So before everything slips […]

The oldest also see the possibility of building bridges between ideological and institutional change. One of the dimensions we asked participants to assess the Covid-associated images against was the […]
The response patterns to our questions suggest that COVID was a chance to re-assess the relationship between the collective, the individual, and the world around us. This relationship is crucial in climate change, where we continuously grapple with the ideas of action, motivation, and impact. To dig deeper, we will focus on how perceived impact […]
I’m starting to hope that this blog is the start of something that will become a tradition. The climate change (nature, sustainability, biodiversity, take your pick) programme periodically releases an open collection. Such collections invite participation from absolutely anybody and offer the possibility of collecting targeted data and accessing them at no cost. The first […]
