Research

The project will unravel Bath’s overlooked colonial connections by exploring the following set of research questions:

  1. How are Bath’s green spaces involved in global networks originating in the history of colonisation and empire?
  2. How can green spaces be made more inclusive through everyday practices including walking, arts-based Co-Creation and knowledge sharing about plants?
  3. How can communities currently overlooked as knowledge producers be destigmatised and included in knowledge sharing?
  4. How can diverse communities be involved in a genuine, bottom-up reshaping of Bath’s memoryscape as equal partners?
  5. How is Bath in Somerset is linked to Bath in Jamaica, a town also known for their thermal source and botanical garden?
