From Bangladesh, Raihana Ferdous Nottingham Trent University screens her beautiful, melancholic documentary about the challenges of life off the grid for relationships on Sandwip island & invites us to consider the vital but neglected role of emotions in research.

Dane Mathendele Armstrong, also from Eswatini, tells us a story about the growth of a story – emerging from a permaculture school, of Kaya and her yearning for a future that involves caring for people, caring for the Earth & reinvesting a fair share.

Thandeka Ndlela walks us through Eswatini’s largest nature reserve in a virtual field experience of Malolotja Peatland that teaches us and other citizen scientists sampling techniques to measure greenhouse gas emissions (thanking her mentor Jo Sharp 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈)

One of our wonderful hosts, Bosco Chinkonda , illuminates a posthumanist perspective on engagement around Rabies control by asking how many of cook special meals for our dogs – here in Malawi, he reminds us, dogs don’t wear clothes

Next up, Eucharia Okwudili Ugwu from Nigeria co-presents with her mentors Jennifer Rowsell and Gus Weltsek on objects, interrelations & the playful decolonial pluriverse – giving us a powerful poetic exhortation to not stay in the Eurocentric line

Amazing to hear from this amazing cohort of writers, researchers and practitioners! 💚🌱

Suffragettes were often portrayed as cats It was thought that portraying campaigners as such would imply the idea of women voting as absurd: cats were seen as passive, feminine & ineffectual. There may also have been a nod to the 1913 Cat & Mouse Act
