🌳🎤QUB Annual Wiles Lecture Series: Repairing the Planet🎤🌳 This years annual Wiles Lecture Series will take place at Queen’s University Belfast on 20-23 May 2026. The series concludes with a lecture on competing visions of planetary repair. Some argue for scaling back technology to allow ecosystems (and humanity) to regenerate naturally. For others, climate repair means the full mobilisation of technology, including geoengineering, to repair the damage done to earth systems by human activity. 📍Find out more about the lecture series here: tinyurl.com/ynfbn57v

👩‍🌾🌱 The Story of Flax 👩‍🌾🌱 We've been out getting our hands dirty with @playthinkbrink, GrowNI, and Quarto, taking part in their project exploring the past, present, and future of flax and linen in Belfast! This past couple of weeks, we started by looking at old photographs and artefacts and planting flax seeds in Waterworks Community Garden and Ligoniel. Later in the year we’ll come together to visit Mallon Farm, harvest our flax and try out traditional tools and methods for processing it into linen yarn. Big questions, learning from the land, and thinking about what our history with flax and linen can teach us about surviving (and thriving) in a changing world. 🌍
