Mia Perry
Mia Perry co-leads the Sustainable Futures Global Network and with this, she works in a diverse international range of contexts that share little common ground in terms of the language of “sustainability.” In some contexts this language emerges as vague jargon that means very little, in others it is a political tool that exists only on paper and not in practice. In some contexts the question of sustainability became irrelevant many years ago, and survival is a much more useful term. Due to the elusive and unequal nature of language, Mia’s work focuses on literacies beyond words. She is interested in literacies of land, water, faith, body, and matter. In other words, the ways in which we read and make sense of our relationships with the world through sign systems beyond the human alphabet.
