Did you know that more diverse workplaces foster more creativity and innovation? That is why Alan has been working hard to build a team of researchers and artists from a variety of backgrounds and experiences to create and innovate at the studio!

Over the past few weeks we have welcomed three new members to the Centre for Ecological Philosophy:

Data scientist Eriz Yusuf will be using satellite imagery to investigate fire from space
Anthropologist Emma McLoughlin is working with the community in Fort McMurray to include their perspective on the visual culture of Fire
Photography Assistant Oscar Cannon is working behind the scenes on the production of our upcoming monograph Songs of the Dead, and in front of the scenes on upcoming photography projects!

Visit the About page to learn more about our new team members!

It’s exciting to see the centre growing as we continue to work on Songs of the Dead. Speaking of which, you can find out more about our progress at this dedicated page. Get a glimpse into Antoinette Johnson’s essay So-Called Canada: Finding an Anthropocentric-Biocentric Nexus in Fort McMurray; read about Emma’s current findings in her Anthropological study; as well as other updates in the pipeline.

In the coming weeks we will be adding even more researchers and artists to the team! As we wander along the path of creative uncertainty, stay tuned to see what we accomplish together.
