Professor Patrick Duggan

Need a new year treat? How about these articles from @PCR_innovations: ‘Performance approaches to whole society resilience’ in cultural geographies: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14… ‘Political Public Art as Performative Response to Crisis’ in Liminalities: liminalities.net/20-4/performat…

🎙️Performance isn’t just art—it’s how societies think, protest, & imagine futures. I spoke with Abigail Smithson on 'Yeah, I Got a F#%ing Job With a Liberal Arts Degree!' about why performance matters for resilience & understanding complexity. Listen👉 tinyurl.com/ynftfyyb

After pretending (briefly) to be a TikTok influencer & speaking on New Orleans TV about "Performing New Orleans: Rethinking Resilience in Art and Everyday Life", here I am making a guest appearance on the Pivotal podcast: 🎧 Pivotal: Resilience episode - open.spotify.com/episode/1OtTcJ…

@lsupress Thanks @lsupress, delighted to see this out today! Performing New Orleans explores how arts and culture play an active role in managing complex urban challenges—offering fresh perspectives on how artistic and everyday performances are pivotal modes of practicing resilience.

"a welcome addition to the robust performance studies scholarship focused on cities. Andrews and Duggan specifically offer a polyvocal and practical approach to rethinking resilience now" ~Prof. Sean Metzger

So excited to see this book out in the world! Written with @thatotheridea, the book examines the value of arts and culture in managing complex urban challenges, offering new perspectives on how artistic and everyday performances can be pivotal modes of practicing resilience.

@BenAndersonGeog Ben, this looks excellent. I can't make it down to London alas; do you know if it'll be recorded and/or are you publishing it anywhere? Thanks

Public lecture in London on 30th June, 6pm, on mine and Anna Secor’s new book, to the title of: The Politics of Feeling in Crisis Times: Populism, Progressivism, Liberalism. Event bite link here, would be lovely to see people there: eventbrite.com/e/the-politics…

@LucyGoBag @NorthumbriaUni @unisouthampton Thanks Lucy!

@drpatrickduggan @NorthumbriaUni @unisouthampton Oh Congratulations 🙌

A bit of job news I've been sitting on but it's now public... After 5+ years, I'm moving on from @NorthumbriaUni to become Head of Winchester School of Art and Professor of Performance, Culture, and Resilience @unisouthampton the University of Southampton (full blurb in image)

It's a huge change (and a bit of a daunting one) but it's also really exciting! I'll miss @NorthumbriaUni , it's been a brilliant professional home and I've had the privilege to work with incredible colleagues across the institution.

“Memorials have never been strictly about loss, but I have seen them more as teaching tools”. What a fantastic article!
