Procedural starting point

The way I described my methods or process in my last funding application was: Ecosocial #mapping, a #practice-based approach combining material #ethnography, field #recordings, #testimonies of local knowledge holders, #fundamental science, #performative #action-research, and #prototyping. #Co-creation sessions with multi-species #builders, #designers and #activists explore alternative value frameworks beyond carbon accounting, rooting material applications—such as fish habitats—in ecological logics. Wetland plants are #repositioned not merely as a bio-based commodity but as a relational material linking soil, water, craft, community, and industry.

What I actually did was / what I usually do is: I left out #desk research, testing (trial and error that comes with the prototyping) and #educational_settings which I use to disseminate and collectively develop knowledge around the topics I work on.
