Welcome

Welcome to the Landscape and Environment Programme Website.

This is a thematic, multidisciplinary programme funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Its aim is to develop arts and humanities understandings of landscape and environment in distinctive, innovative and engaging ways through research projects of the highest quality and international significance. The logo for the programme is adapted from the viewpoint sign on an Ordnance Survey map.

We need to know more about cultural views of landscape and environment, the many ways the world has been imagined, experienced, designed, made and managed, the complex meanings landscape and environment have for people who live in as well as look at them. In response to this challenge the programme will produce work which is critical and creative, collaborative and communicative.
