Dr Louise Mullagh
Lecturer in Arts ManagementProfile
Louise is an inter-disciplinary researcher and lecturer the School of Arts. Her work broadly explores understandings of place-based knowledge in our data-driven society. Her research challenges data-driven understandings of the world, advocating for situated, more-than-human and lived experiences to be integrated into digital knowledge systems.
Louise’s research and teaching spans Critical Data Studies, performance studies and art practice. She uses creative methods including walking, design fiction and speculative methods to engage people in rethinking data-driven understandings of the world.
Currently, she is investigating the relationship between data-driven and situated understandings of place, through a range of creative and artistic practices. Her work contributes to rethinking data activism, performance studies, participatory governance, and the future of cultural knowledge systems in an increasingly algorithmic world.
Louise teaches on the Theatre and Performance BA and the Theatre for Social, Political and Environmental Change MA.
