Lisa is an anti-disciplinary scholar, methodologist and maker based at the University of Glasgow where she leads an MSc in Education for Sustainable Futures.

Her work focuses on practices of knowledge, reality and meaning making as they are enacted within and across disciplines and topics, including education, time, urban studies, design, philosophy, craft, public policy, ethics, cultural studies, emotion, and justice. 

Her work is guided through readings with post-qualitative, post-humanist, new materialist, assemblage, and STS theories, as well as auto-theoretical encounters that often exceed the academy. She brings an ever-evolving constellation of performative and transformative methodologies to her research, including (auto)ethnographic, participatory, research-creation, speculative, practice-based, worlding, and arts-led approaches.

Underpinning her academic practice is a belief that theory and method should be used as tools to prise apart dominant knowledge practices, towards realities unseen, and towards more just and undisciplinary modes of thinking and doing. She considers academia a potent site in this regard and actively exercises slow, relational, community-led practices as modes of critique and resistance. She is just as at home (re)imagining, (un)learning and restor(y)ing sustainable worlds through quilting, pottery, crochet and printing, connecting the head, the heart, the hand and the other.
