Luci Attala, Deputy Executive Director of BRIDGES, University of Wales Trinity Saint David, will be presenting the paper Listening to the Bubbles: How Water Answers in Indigenous Kogi Epistemology. Sharing Ways of Knowing through Relational and More-than-Human Histories, at this upcoming conference in Rome.
Today's inspiring and informative 'WIN Talks, From policy to practice: The Well-being of Future Generations Act in action', brought together the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, Derek Walker, Professor Martin Johnes, and Professor Luci Attala to explore how Wales is advancing the vision of the Well-being of Future Generations Act and how research communities can strengthen its impact. Together, the speakers demonstrated how Wales is driving forward a unique model of research-informed, future-oriented governance and how academic partnerships are helping to turn the Act’s ambitions into lived practice.
This article argues that sustainability governance in small-scale regenerative aquaculture arises less from formal regulation than from the relational, ethical, and temporal labour of practitioners. Based on an ethnographic study of Câr-y-Môr, Wales’s first community-owned regenerative ocean farm, the research combines over 250 h of participant observation, 25 interviews, and document analysis with transdisciplinary humanities-informed sustainability science (THiSS).
BRIDGES Luci Attala is part of the CASRI group undertaking a co-design matchmaking process between potential funders/programme managers at national and European levels, to establish where research funding should be funnelled.
Author: Luci Attala. When I tell people at UNESCO that I’m from Wales, their eyes light up. There’s a genuine curiosity about this small country in their corridors. Wales is known to some for its castles and dragons, but to others for something far more extraordinary: a nation that has made the future a matter of law. As someone now working within the UN system, I can say with certainty that the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 is regarded internationally as visionary, practical and quietly revolutionary.
