30 Oct 2024

The three-year project is part of the CHANSE (Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe) and HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area) 'Crisis - Perspectives from the Humanities' project. 

Dr Marie Aronsson-Storrier, UCC School of Law, has been awarded funding from Research Ireland as part of the CHANSE (Collaboration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Europe) and HERA (Humanities in the European Research Area) ‘Crisis – Perspectives from the Humanities’  for a 3-year project, entitled ‘Home in Crisis’. Home in Crisis is one of 10 projects selected for funding under this call, out of over 200 applications. The project is led by Miriam Cullen at The University of Copenhagen, Denmark, with principle investigators in Ireland (Marie Aronsson-Storrier, UCC), Norway (Hugo Reinert, University of Oslo), and the UK (Dina Lupin, University of Southampton), and supported by project partners Empatheatre, Client Earth and Preparing Our Home.

Home in Crisis aims to reveal diverse understandings of home in the context of the climate crisis. It will advance the protection of home for those affected, strengthen academic understanding, and be of concrete value to policy makers, legal practitioners, and the judiciary. The project team will use artistic creation as a tool of legal analysis and disruption to examine how law interacts with the notions of home. Engaging with Indigenous and non-Western epistemologies, and legal practices drawing on critical, feminist and decolonial legal methodology, Home in Crisis will interrogate law’s potential inadequacies and apertures in governing, creating, and destroying home in the context of the climate crisis.
