The seminar will be an informal and self-reflective talk about co-production of knowledge in research, looking at resilience building in rural and urban areas, climate and weather forecasts and health equity.

Through examples of research and development projects, I will be interrogating the meaning of co-production, a need for it and critically addressing how “mainstreaming co-production” can result in practices that can replicate and absorb (intentionally or not) past practices that marginalise particular knoweldges and knowledge holders, while not considering the tacit relationships of power and knowledge that influence the process.

Speaker

Dr Camilla Audia

I was a researcher at King's College London for 7 years, working on various project at the Geography department, before joining the University of Warwick in August 2022. I examine the relations between climate change, populations, health and sustainable development through the co-production of knowledge. I am interested in using arts-based and embodied methods (photography, film, theatre, role-play, dance...) to tackle 'wicked problems' and challenge traditional dynamics in the society-policy-science nexus.
