This series of conversations between students and staff at University of Exeter, UK, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka and University of Dar Es Salaaam, Tanzania was developed for a Creative Fellowship in Environmental Justice. It was the first phase of a six month project hosted by Clare Saunders, Professor in Politics and Head of Humanities and Social Science, University of Exeter. Subsequent activities included a series of trans disciplinary creative mapping workshops with academics across the campus, an onsite artwork, a symposium and a co-written paper.
