Emeritus Professor 

Personal statement

Owain gained an MSc (Society and Space) and PhD in Cultural Geography at the world leading
Department of Geography, University of Bristol 1993-1997.

Conducting post-doctoral research at Bristol, Exeter, the Open University and other institutions, he has, since then, in a series of RCUK funded projects, studied and written about many aspects of: nature-society relations; landscape, place and memory; and the environmental crisis; children’s geographies; theories of pragmatism and non-representation.

He has conducted research projects on: water and society (floods, tides, coastal cultures, water and community; on trees, place and landscape; and children, nature and place.

He recently led a £1.5 million Arts and Humanities Research Council Connected Communities project which involves eight UK universities, and numerous community partners and artists in four case study areas across the UK. This project sought to creatively explore and transform connections within and between communities, and communities and nature, in relation to water issues.

Owain was appointed as the first Professor of Environmental Humanities in the UK in 2014 at 黑料正能量. He is now deputy director of the newly formed Research Centre for the Environmental Humanities at Bath Spa. He has published/co-published more than 80 scholarly articles and four books;

  • Geography and Memory: Identity, Place and Becoming (2012) with Jo Garde-Hansen
