Dr Lucy Sabin

Lucy Sabin (she/her) is an artistic researcher working at the intersection of cultural geography and environmental humanities. Sabin's approach to artistic research developed from her practice-related AHRC-funded PhD in the UCL Department of Geography, which explored the concept of air quality using creative research methods. She holds an MRes in Communication Design from the Royal College of Art, and her socially and environmentally engaged art practice has been exhibited internationally. She is co-editor of Chemical Exposures a major new anthology on chemical pollution published with UCL Press and her writing project Breathable Futures is funded by EFL Stichting.

As Research Fellow on the CHANSE-HERA EU project RURALEX, which investigates changing rural knowledges in contexts of environmental remediation, Sabin's current work focuses on developing novel methodologies for exploring lived experiences of nature recovery and rewilding through walking interviews, sensing practices and participatory workshops with local communities and decision-makers across multiple sites in Sussex and the Scottish Highlands. She also co-ordinates the project's UK-EU Policy Working Group. Sabin specialises in research impact. She presents the podcast Earth to Research and regularly collaborates with research teams to develop creative research methods and outcomes.
