Designer-Researcher-Writer-Doer with a radical hope for the future. I put the la in shamamala and bring spare shamama in case of emergencies. Do you need any?

How regenerative design games might foster the communication and collaboration skills needed to scaffold transitions to just and sustainable futures? Niki Wallace explores the role of games in the explorations of uncertain futures. More from here📖 https://t.co/9lazm7kVX9

I’m looking for someone to help me grow & develop the MA Global Collaborative Design Practice at UAL. The course focuses on complex collaborations that design for just transitions. Please share in your networks, it’s a unicorn role! https://t.co/4MtJ5L6A2S

Looking at existing Environmental and Climate Justice syllabi that barely feature scholars, activists, and communities of color. So I've given myself the (VERY easy) task of writing a syllabus that features almost exclusively writers of color. Feel free to share readings here!

The top map shows which nations are most responsible for excess emissions. The bottom map shows which nations are most impacted by it. If we are not attentive to the colonial dimensions of climate breakdown, we are missing the point.

Anyone who’s part of the roller derby community knows how powerful the experience of community & belonging can be. Last week we lost our founding member, words can’t describe how palpably we’ve felt that loss. We lost a friend, mentor, our glue & more. Vale Sarah Strong-Law 💔

My latest paper was published this week expanding on the research from my PhD using the multi-level perspective in design for transitions https://t.co/rhLh8QfVZX Covid delayed the publishing process by almost a year so it’s a relief to finally see this work out in the wild!

@basement_kat The recorder was the only instrument that came to mind but it don’t think it’ll have the same carry power as the bagpipes. I guess I also need to learn to play the bagpipes 🤷‍♀️

[Dr Niki Wallace @nikiwallace]

I thought living with someone while they learned to play drums was bad until my neighbour started learning to play the bagpipes. I feel like revenge-learning an instrument in return but I’m not sure there is anything more horrid sounding than bagpipes played badly.

One of the greatest tricks white supremacy ever pulled was convincing white ppl that white supremacy is a fringe extremist belief and not the bedrock upon which Western civilisation is built.

How is power contested & what does this mean for social change & innovation? After being online 1st for almost a year, my paper on power theories & social change is published in current issue of Journal of Political Power, open access: https://t.co/MKYKN1g8gB #PowerinTransition

I’m often seen quoting Desmond Tutu when referring to the failed leadership in Aboriginal Affairs and more recently the bastardisation of the Government’s IPP program & black cladding. People know who’s failing us but they remain silent.

Rest In Peace great man, Rest In Peace.

@AgwormRegen Haha happy merry to you and Peta xx

[Dr Niki Wallace @nikiwallace]

Today, on my last working day of the year I saw the best typo I’ve ever seen in a research write up: inshights.

In the future I will use it l whenever I think my findings are a bit crap.
