Dr Joanna Clare Dobson - “The River Don has a right to thrive in its own right, because it's alive and it's something we should deeply respect” As part of our Right to Thrive series on the future rights of nature, we speak to a Sheffield-based researcher who explores the relationship between trauma and the living world.

"I think we have a responsibility to witness the losses that are happening in the more-than-human world"

@sammgreg.bsky.social spoke with @joannacdobson.bsky.social, a #Sheffield writer and researcher whose work focuses on the role the living world plays in narratives around trauma🌱

What does the River Don mean to the people of Sheffield? Four people who live and work alongside the Don explore their relationship to the river and how it could be better cared for, as well as the positive and negative impacts it has on their lives.

"There's something about water, isn't there. People go where the energy flows"

New research by @sheffielduni.bsky.social student Oliver Eales explores how people who live and work alongside the Don relate to #Sheffield's biggest river. @sammgreg.bsky.social reports ⬇️

The image is a picture of Effy our user researcher wearing a green Hive IT hoodie, in deep conversation with a student from the university. Next to her is Alban wearing a black top, also in deep conversation with another student. There is also a pink advertisement sign next to Alban which says, 'Hive IT' and on the white wall behind them there is a projected image of a mobile app.

We were thrilled to be invited to the @sheffielduni.bsky.social School of Law’s first-ever ‘Tech Play Day’ with @weareopus.bsky.social last week! Engaging with students about technology in an interactive way was a fantastic experience.
