Links in a Chain

Edinborough, Campbell; Billing, Christian

Abstract

'Links in a Chain' is a Practice Research Output that uses verbatim interview materials from researchers working within the University of Hull Circular Plastics Collaboratory, transcribed, edited and collaged alongside specially written new material intended to foreground the public listener's conscious mind within the various pragmatic, ethical and scientific issues that surround a global and local transition from single-use plastics to a circular plastics economy.

A free-to-access Podcast hosted by the University of Hull, it is designed to immerse listeners in the complexity of the problems associated with the overuse of plastics in contemporary society and help us discover steps we can all take to help the environment.

A creative team was established specifically for the Links in a Chain project, including Producer, International award-winning documentary-maker, composer, radio producer and journalist Hana Walker-Brown and:

Writer – Lecturer in Writing for Performance, University of Leeds Campbell Edinborough

Dramaturg – University of Hull Reader in Drama and Director of Research for the School of the Arts, Christian Billing

Composer – University of Hull PhD Student, James Rushworth

The output was funded by a grant of £16,535.00 from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
