‘Good farming’ in a polycrisis
What does ‘good farming’ look like in a context of climatic, technological, socio‐economic, regulatory, and geopolitical upheaval? In this commentary, we highlight the opportunities presented by arts‐led research to complement the existing STEM‐centric data by offering more inclusive, holistic, dialogical, and experiential understandings of contemporary agriculture. Creative methods offer diverse opportunities to engage with farmer voices, and en…
Understanding how value, power and expertise circulates in (creative) knowledge exchange programmes
This paper uses the South West Creative Technology Network (SWCTN) in the South West, UK, as a case study to examine the diverse economies evident in knowledge exchange (KE) programmes delivering university-industry research and development (R&D). Counter to normative measures of success for KE programmes such as key performance indicators, and moving beyond evaluations that discount the diverse impacts of these programmes at interpersonal- or cr…
Storying connectivity and value
The spatial imaginaries of creative clusters
Creative clusters – geographic concentrations of creative industries sector activity, its skilled individuals, organisations and institutions – have attracted significant investment globally, becoming an important driver of economic growth. In this paper, we frame investment in creative clusters as a mechanism for creative placemaking. Creative placemaking occupies a dual role as a driver of economic development via arts-led ‘regeneration’ of hig…
Building local capacity for managing environmental risk
This paper evaluates a unique, transdisciplinary participatory research and knowledge exchange methodology developed in the Drought Risk and You (DRY) project and offers it as a transferable framework for others engaging stakeholders and systemic connections with environmental risk. Drought in the UK is a complex, diffuse and hidden risk, involving multiple stakeholders and systemic connections across diverse sectors. Historically, drought risk m…
Conclusion
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book begins by articulating how the collection responds to a call for starting from a fundamentally different analytical position in order to do research on human–water relations. It attempts to bring other 'voices' to the fore that would not ordinarily be a part of water resources policy or management, through adopting a numbe…
Water, Creativity and Meaning
At a time of great turmoil and crisis, environmentally, socially and politically, water has emerged as a topic of huge global concern. Moreover, many argue that what is needed in order to change our relationship with the environment is a cultural paradigm shift. To this end, this volume brings together diverse approaches to exploring human relationships with the watery world and the other living things that rely upon it. Through exploring multipl…
