Research Communication
While Sarah’s educational and work background was initially in media arts and film production, she then went into teaching university-level media arts (applied mostly to sustainability) and has expanded into using film in participatory research and knowledge translation mainly related to sustainability and climate change, with a particular focus on water justice, and intersections with health, especially health equity. She has worked a lot with ways to innovate around designing and facilitating film-based approaches, and then editing the audiovisual data into films aimed mostly as advocacy tools. Below are a few examples.
