The Ediths are a feminist interdisciplinary research collective. We use socially engaged creative methodologies to conduct ecologically responsive research.
Our projects attend to three interrelated concerns:
1) Entwined cultural and environmental dimensions of colonisation
2) Situated Common Worlding frameworks that resist the natureculture divide
3) Expanded understandings of inclusion and belonging.
