Mark Borthwick

Hello! My name is Mark Borthwick, I'm an interdisciplinary scholar looking at the unique offerings of Religious Studies and Geography to progress how we eat, farm, and care for the natural world. 

I am currently an Open-Oxford-Cambridge Doctoral Fellow, training in Ethics and Geography. I regularly engage both scholars and policymakers, and am director of Articora, a thinktank focusing on food systems policy.

I am also a theatre-maker and socially engaged artist, looking for creative and innovative ways to engage the public on environmental issues in new ways. The core question I'm talking is: How do we create revolutions of the spirit, for social and environmental change? 

My interests include animal studies, religious studies, social geographies, organic farming, permaculture, outdoor sport, and creative approaches to ecological communication.
