Good morning #pfgtc2020 #pgfhome #waclgeog! I’m a 2nd yr student at @StirUni. My PhD is an interdisciplinary study of waterscapes

I aim to find how benefits are produced (or not) through water infrastructures. Waterscapes transcend social-natural binaries.

1/5

So, which #methods have I applied to get a view of the waterscape? 5 examples:

mapping walking, tracing flow paths and identifying blockages to develop a waterscape map

hydrology catchment mapping allows for hydrological calculations

2/5

social research focus groups + participant observation + textual analysis highlight water issues and raise questions of responsibility #waterpolitics

3/5

water quality collecting water and analysing for pollutants + understanding how water quality is known locally and technically #STS

ecological methods observation and vegetation mapping show that waterscapes are more-than-human assemblages #multispecies

4/5

In sum; different methods can reveal the layers that make up a waterscape. If you’d like to know more about how these mixed methods are combined in my PhD research, see http://elliotjchurst.net  or follow for future twitter updates. Thanks for reading!
