The OpenSpace Research Centre aims to generate a collective research culture, facilitated by regular discussions and events, including seminar series with internal and visiting scholars, opportunities to workshop research in progress and reading groups. The emphasis is on support, inclusivity and exchange of ideas. As a result we have ongoing and sustained conversations across a range of research topics, focusing in particular on common concerns such as the theorisation of space, nature, culture, agency and politics. These collective practices are embedded in our team-based course production and teaching, and their transfer to our research culture has been exceptionally rewarding, fostering experimental and emergent intellectual collaborations, inclusive of established and early career researchers, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants and postgraduates.
