Personal profile
Research interests
James's research focus links regenerative design, material circularity and distributed manufacture. Where the localisation of material and labour assets, learning and supply chains offer opportunities to disrupt centralised (and non-regenerative) modes of production and consumption.
He has led national and international research into the value of shared and open knowledge transfer between stakeholders to enable more socially just and less environmental impactful to enact economic development. Significant projects including the EPSRC-funded Future Makespaces in Redistributed Manufacturing and Citizen Nature Watch.
He is currenly working on projects funded by EPSRC (Ecological Citizens Network) and AHRC (Future Observatory), that take a design-led approached to linking local communities, practices, needs and resources in the exploration of more regenerative modes of production.
