Aidan Jolly

I am a creative popular education practitioner, and performance maker. Amongst others, I work with Collective Encounters Theatre for Social Change. I am also a Post Graduate Researcher at Edge Hill University, starting a PhD investigating radically generative transition communities. I am interested in the power of performance to imagine and realise new ways of building communities that integrate social, racial, and climate justice, and heal individual and collective trauma. I always knew there was something fishy about economics as taught at Universities and projected on the media when on day one of my undergraduate course a lecturer asked me to believe that consumers make rational decisions.
