The Moral Terrains of Green Social Prescribing: Reconfiguring Data Equity
Green social prescribing (GSP) is a governmental initiative to improve access to green spaces and nature-based activities, with the aim of improving contexts of health and wellbeing. In discourses surrounding GSP, nature is often understood as a therapeutic environment in which submersion is inherently beneficial. My current book project reframes nature-health contexts as complex moral terrains, made up of judgements, responsibilities, and values that do not always neatly align, and that must be navigated through nuanced embodied engagements with people and places. This talk focuses on one, perhaps unexpected, presence within these spaces: data. In observing the analogue interactions through which digital traces emerge, I follow the construction of ‘before and after’ subjectivities, draw on community artworks that disrupt graphical temporalities, and propose new visual tools for reconfiguring relatedness between data equity and health equity.
