Dr Serena Pollastri is a Lecturer in Urban Futures at Lancaster University.
Serena explores ways in which information visualisation processes can be employed to bring together multiple voices exploring pluralistic or contested pasts, presents, and (possible) futures, and how visual artefacts can then be designed to articulate the complexity of these conversations.
She is a designer and a lecturer who uses practice as an essential part of research and teaching. Within the City and Urban Futures Cluster Serena is interested in challenging and breaking the boundaries of “city” research and think about multispecies interactions, more-than-human futures, nature in place, biodiversity, food futures.
