Thinking is material podcast series – by Dr Joanna Leah

Posted on 18/03/202508/04/2025

Dr Joanna Leah received funding to support the development of her ‘thinking is material’ podcast series that will launch in 2025. This podcast explores how thinking itself manifests as a material process in approaches to research, emphasizing the creative acumen and adaptability that define the methods of today’s creative practitioners. As a mover and drawer, Dr Leah has always explored how thinking is materialised through research methods. This is inspired by Tim Ingold’s thinking and acquiring knowledge on the move, where thought is woven into how we move, act and learn. The podcast aims to expand an approach of ‘thinking on the move’ and engaging with the stuff, of social , political and cultural concerns as materials that matter. The thinking is material podcast series will showcase PARTICIPATE researchers by capturing conversations on research methods to support debates on collaboration, diversity and inclusivity.
