The significance of the arts in landscape and environmental research has been increasingly emphasised in recent years with arts and humanities components now a common, if not required, element in research proposals. Despite this increasingly important role for the arts, there remains often a disconnect between epistemic communities from the arts on one side and the sciences and social sciences on the other. This dichotomy has been a recurrent subject of discussion within landscape\/seascape, environmental and valuing nature research arenas, where social science dialogues are increasingly set alongside and integrating with natural science and economic perspectives. However, there is much less understanding about the contribution that can come from the arts and humanities. Considerable potential exists for developing and deepening critical reflections around the role and importance of the arts in landscape and environmental research more generally.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aim of A<\/span>A<\/span>L<\/span>E<\/span>R<\/span>T <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>is to foster debate and dialogue between\u00a0everyone interested inArts Researchand the role creative practices can play in shaping landscape and environmental research today.<\/span><\/p>\n
