HEdge Space is an Art-Based Participatory Action Research (AB-PAR) PhD
initiated by Giselle Harvey, hosted by The Limerick School of Art & Design
& Funded by The Irish Research Council.
The project is co-producing creative eco-embodied tools, workshops and actions with public co-researchers.
These practices are intended to support community-led learning and action for social-ecological just change and may be particularly useful in grassroots organising, community arts and community education contexts.
The project, originating in The Burren region, was open to anyone with an interest in making social-ecological just change by co-developing collaborative creative eco-embodied tools, workshops and actions.
​
14 non-academic co-researchers where involved in this research.
Another 25+ people participated in creative actions.
Others contributed to the research via surveys
