Gina’s research is concerned with landscape, time, hauntology and photography. She actively collaborates with practitioners from different disciplines; walking, thinking and practising with others. Gina’s practice-based research seeks to develop transdisciplinary understandings of landscape and place, rurality and future heritages. She is an invited member of several research networks including Land2, the RSE funded International Network for Contemporary Archaeology in Scotland (INCAScot), and the RSE & RIA funded Rural Reimagined network. Gina is the GSA Co-ordinator for the Arctic Sustainable Art and Design Thematic Network of the University of the Arctic and a member of the cross disciplinary Reading Landscapes research group at The Glasgow School of Art.
