Bath City Doughnut Learning Session: Identifying Interconnections (Past)
In this session we will practice exploring how the themes in the Doughnut connect, as highlighted in Chapter 2.
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Another informal opportunity for anyone reading Doughnut Economics or interested in the concept to find out more about it, and thrash out any sticky themes or questions arising so far.
By request, in this session we will practice exploring how the themes in the Doughnut connect, as highlighted in Chapter 2.
To prep for our session, take a look at Chapter 2, in particular 'A Twentieth Century Compass, pages 43-53.
How might our actions in one area, eg climate action, affect another area, eg income and work? Or housing, affect water? Positively or negatively?
A little light practice in systems thinking for a Thursday evening.

With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of creativity, innovation, sustainable development, and social/behavioural insight, I help people and organisations navigate seemingly disconnected perspectives, disciplines and contexts, while nurturing shared understanding, trust and alignment - strengthening how they communicate, collaborate and build. I began exploring Doughnut Economics around 2017, attending events from 2019, and becoming a DEAL community member on its launch in 2020. My interest in economics increased during my 2021 'Sustainable Development in Practice' Masters dissertation on narrative framing and communication of degrowth practices to UK business leaders, which examined the difference between degrowth, growth-agnostic and growth-led perspectives. I started the Doughnut Economics group in Bath, UK in 2022 which evolved into Collaborative Bath in 2024, which I ran in until May 2025. I continue to support it ad hoc, and a number of councils, universities and enterprises with local outreach and engagement. Email me or join me on LinkedIn.

I am retired from paid employment, having had a number of careers in data analytics, then management consultancy, then a variety of leadership roles in UK-based charities. I've had a number of formal and informal roles working with charities and other for-benefit initiatives. Most notably having chaired three charities, and setting up Innovira to become a catalyst for developing and sharing good ideas and practices - though it is early days for this. I've lived in Bath, in the South West of England, for over 30 years, and now try to use my experience and time to support activists and thinkers who are trying to make a difference locally. The Doughnut model captures what I've thought intuitively for decades, and will hopefully be an effective model to help good decision making, and get stuff done.
