CHASE Dialogues - Climate Justice and the Arts

CHASE Dialogues is a discussion series foregrounding the significant roles the arts and humanities have played and continue to play in big discussions today in collaboration with STEM-related fields.

The panellists engaged in dialogue about questions such as : How do the arts and humanities engage with climate crisis? How can they contribute to climate justice? In what ways can arts and humanities research and practice meaningfully engage communities and provide pathways for these engagements to influence climate policies? How do and can the arts and humanities intersect with and broaden the work on the climate crisis in STEM disciplines?

How to Thrive in 2050? On neurodiversity and creative knowledge exchange with Kai Syng Tan

Part of the Knowledge Exchange in Practice Event Series

What could or should a more equitable and creative 2050 look like? How should we extend our tentacles and to network with others, including members of different species? What existing and new networks can we form to solidarise and exchange knowledge?

This online interactive seminar by Kai Syng Tan, as part of the CHASE KEH Knowledge Exchange in Practice event series and one of several of Kai’s ‘masterclasses’, intended to knock, mock and knock down the master’s (sic) story. Through clips from a commissioned film about a ‘neuro-futuristic’ 2050, How to Thrive in 2050? which premiered on BBC iPlayer, we strategised creative approaches that prioritise neurodiversity and creativity.
