I-PEEL: Living Through Climate Change

Welcome to The International Political Economy of Everyday Life (I-PEEL): Living Through Climate Change project!

Project aims:

In this project you will team up with students from Monash University based in Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur, to develop your critical thinking at the cutting edge of creative, collaborative, and global research practice, examining how everyday actors, objects, and practices can prompt an original perspective on the global political economy of climate change.

Project milestones:

There will be seven milestones to complete the project:

  1. Announcement of project teams and academic mentors. On 19 February, you will receive an email from us with the details of your collaboration partners. This will give you the opportunity to get in touch, exchange ideas, and jointly discuss the topics you would like to write about.
  2. First Workshop. On Thursday, 29 February 2024, we will kickstart the project with our first workshop, held on Zoom. At the workshop you will meet the I-PEEL team and the other participants. You will receive practical guidance on the next steps: from selecting your own research topics, to doing collaborative research, to presenting the results of your research, to publishing your groupwork online. You will also be given the opportunity to brainstorm single-word topics with your project partners.
