Beth is a philosopher, artist, writer and educator whose work broadly represents a phenomenological enquiry into questions of ontology and alterity vis-à-vis human-world, or nature-culture relations. She is interested in the role of aesthetic engagement in ethical human-world relations and she approaches this by way of practice-based research and the environmental humanities. A longterm interest is in the role of interactive media, and especially gaming, in sustainability. She is also concerned with the role of the designed and built environment in social-environmental change. Beth works internationally as a consultant, curator and educator in the area of arts, culture and sustainability, and lectures widely. Amongst other affiliations, she sits on the editorial board of the International Journal of Interactive Media and is a Founding Member of the International Environmental Communication Association.
