Dr Richardson presentation discusses two projects that explore how sharing approaches from different disciplines can enhance the learning experience for students and other participants. ‘Creative Interactions’ was a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project that brought together undergraduate students on Art History and Creative Writing modules to find out how working with the approaches of a different discipline could lead to deeper and more engaged learning. ‘Stiches and Stories’ was a community sewing event inspired by a major research project into division and segregation in post-conflict Belfast.

Zsófia Szonja Illés presents some of her artwork and research that explores sensory ways of embodied engagement with more-than-human landscape and natural phenomena – that would otherwise often remain inaccessible to human experience.
