Viktoria Erlacher-Downing

I am a PhD student at the University of Brighton’s Centre of Resilience for Social Justice and a Boingboing CiC volunteer and am funded by the South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership. My MSc explored barriers and motivations to participating in environmental community projects, the role of social capital and community resilience, and connections between social and environmental resilience. Currently my focus is on resilience within the climate-crisis context. Passionate about co-production, environmental justice and social justice, I am now working on a climate crisis study co-produced with HeadStart Blackpool Young People, with the aim to add to existing resilience resources from an environmental angle. I am also interested in posthumanism and the transformative paradigm.
