I had a great day (online) @ the #SCORAI conference today.
I was thrilled that our workshop chair Anastasia Loukianov kindly offered to allow me to present my #PhD research online during the "Arts & Creative Approaches to #MainstreamingSustainableConsumption" session.
The Power of Good People 🙌
I can't quite believe I will be setting off to Sweden in just a few days - via 8 countries & public transport from Hendy (CYM) to Lund (SE)!
I am also delighted to share the latest #SCORAI #MainstreamingSustainableConsumption conference programme below 👇

I've just registered for my participation in the #SCORAI #MainstreamingSustainableConsumption conference in Sweden & had to complete a survey to calculate my carbon impact.
This is such a fantastic idea & I wish other conferences would do this too!
Anyway, here's mine...
#NoFly #EduSky #PhDSky

PS - It is going to be a long 35+hr bus/train journey each way, but I imagine it will have some beautiful scenery and I intend to extend this into an Easter break.

I'm thrilled to have accepted an invitation to give an oral presentation at the #SCORAI #MainstreamingSustainableConsumption conference in Sweden during April.

A photograph of a child's hands at a sewing machine. The child is sewing together patch work messages which have been painted onto fabric by children learning about the fashion industry. One of which is visible and says "Don't be a mean boss" next to a big pile of money.
This multidisciplinary research is a creative investigation into sustainability education with families, exploring the role early intervention art and design education could play in mainstreaming sustainable consumption.

A comic strip style activity sheet with the heading " Dyes in China & Natural Dyes". There are 4 comic strip boxes, each with speech bubble and shaped text boxes including drawn emojis. The images show: Blue dye pollution discarded into rivers, people drinking polluted water, a child and her dad mixing turmeric dye and a child jumping for joy in front of turmeric tie dye.
A screenshot of an animated cartoon showing a young girl looking concerned while standing in front a huge pile of discarded clothes.
My research poster will explore the use of animated and comic-strip style cartoons, as a pedagogical tool for facilitating dialogic reflectivity, to address the social and environmental injustice of the fashion industry.

A photo of a patchwork dress on a mannequin outside the Senedd building in Cardiff, Wales. The dress is standing next to a sign that has the Senedd logo and says "Senedd Cymru Welsh Parliament" The dress is made of a range of painted patchwork fabric with messages created by 7-9years olds who have been taking part in sustainable fashion education workshops with their parents. Some of the messages include "no more fast fashion"... "no more fast fashion pollution" etc. Some of the patchworks also include photos of comic-strip style activity sheets completed by the children.
Delighted to announce that I've been selected to talk about my PhD research at #SCORAI – #MainstreamingSustainableConsumption conference in Lund, Sweden next April.
🥳
This research is titled: Exploring the Agency and Power of Fashion Consumption Through Cartoons...
