Dr Katharine Earnshaw specialises in expanded readings and interpretations of Classic texts to look at present and future landscape decisions and agricultural ethics. Her work initiates a discourse with science, geography, philosophy, agricultural landscapes and practice, environmental ethics, and environmental approaches to literature.

With Katharine, Lauren will look at ​‘voice’, decision making and policy in landscape. A public research process will see Ancient and Classical texts such as Virgil’s ​‘Georgics’ (an agricultural poem) and folkloric stories of ​‘voiced’ animals discussed alongside contemporary rural voices, policy developments and imminent landscape decisions.
