is 15 years into a 50 year research and action project investigating :[1]    How systems of governance will enable post-capitalist relations integrating nature, society and economy.
[2]    How already existing alternatives and solutions can be creatively and beautifully animated, amplified and shared.
In other words she asks:What are the diverse, already existing and possible material-symbolic dispositifs which facilitate relation and mediation towards erotic enlivenment that might restore and preserve the common conditions for life?

Louise Emily 
Carver 

researcher
human geography, political ecology














           Her research
and interventions look at amongst other things: critical questions of value and nature, experiments in making biodiversity markets work, the paradoxes of the “green economy”, the potential for (reclaiming a common) blue economy, the question of protein, commons and multi-species livelihoods, digital tools and other knowledge-techniques for nature restoration, strategies to shift mainstream conservation to convivial conservation, integrated land management and food value chains and networks.

             She is
generally an undisciplined scholar and practitioner, but holds a PhD in Human Geography from the University of London 2017, where she developed new theories of value in relation to biodiversity conservation and the nature-society-economy nexus. She works with academic colleagues, universities, contemporary arts organisations, cultural institutes, government and NGOs and is always open to exploring collaborations and conversations. She is one half of the research and cultural operative WORKOVERTIME, with Jamie Allen, and co-founder of the Convivial Conservation Centre, and works in close long term collaboration with TBA21.
