How have you been enjoying the recent appearance of some good ol’ British sun? Recently at the studio, we’ve finally been able to enjoy some al fresco lunches, joined by a lovely neighbourhood black cat (yes, we’ve already thought about adopting her as the resident studio cat).

It’s a pleasure to welcome two new team members who have settled in at the Centre for Ecological Philosophy (CEP) this week. Data scientist Mohamed Mazy and photography assistant Igor Augustynowicz. Their interest in doing good is aligned with everyone here and expands our capacity to independently create, communicate and contribute to eco-critical debates.

Mohamed is currently pursuing his interest in AI through a master’s degree, alongside working with Eriz on the Earth Observation project. He will be processing satellite data to devise visualisations of landscape fire from up high.

Igor has a background in international politics but also began taking photographs in 2020. He will be working on the development of the upcoming monograph Songs of the Dead as well as creating a series of mini-documentaries on local ecology.

We’ve been diligently working on ways to engage our audience more, so, unlike this bout of British sun, we will not be disappearing any time soon. Stay tuned for updates on Songs of the Dead and the perks of becoming a centre member through our Patreon
