AUB Human Book

The AUB Human book is an anthology of selected projects. The book, a personal project and collaboration between Alice Stevens and Natalie Carr, was created during the Covid-19 pandemic whilst the campus was in lockdown. The anthology celebrates some of the AUB Human events, projects and symposia that were undertaken during the 2019-2020 academic year.

AUB Human Research Group

The AUB Human Research Group aims to foster a transdisciplinary community that explores ‘creativity for good’ through theoretical and practice-based research, pedagogical inquiry and activities.

The AUB Human ethos aims to celebrate AUB achievements in areas of social, ethical and sustainable creative practice but the research group, whilst taking a position of optimism, offers a more critical direction to further challenge, question and innovate in making a positive difference to people and planet. The group also provides mentoring and support for those engaged in research as well as hosting the AUB Human annual symposium and associated events.

Please get in touch with Alice Stevens should you require further information or wish to contribute or be involved in some capacity.
