We are a thematic, multidisciplinary programme funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council aiming 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.
Funded by AHRC in 2011, the Fellowship aims to draw together the impact of the research amassed by the Landscape and Environment Programme.
The first of two Fellowship newsletters has been published. The content gives an overview of the work of the Fellowship over the last six months.
In 2010 the Arts and Humanities Research council funded 13 networks under the Researching Environmental Change scheme. Each held a series of workshop events between June 2010 and July 2011 with the aim of ensuring that the “dimensions and dynamics of human livelihood are fully embedded in future discussions and considerations of the consequences of environmental change.” It is with great interest that some of the networks have been extended until October to generate further outputs that will continue to address the themes set by the initial call.
