Mossy Entanglements for a Post-human World

Within Creative Arts Higher Education Institutions, most courses have a 'Contextual Studies' aspect. This is the 'norm' in Creative Arts Higher Education Institutions where students are encouraged to consider the cultural and historical context of their own creative practice as well as their own lived experiences, backgrounds and aspirations. Increasingly, contextual studies teaching provides the space where students access the ideas of writers and thinkers who challenge the inequalities and exploitations endemic in our neoliberal world and attempt to make a difference. This session is an example of a 'contextual studies' teaching session which explores the way some thinkers and writers have used moss as a 'thinking tool' in consideration of earth and equity.
