New Orientations was set up in 2020 by MA Environmental Humanities graduate Jonathan Eldridge. Originally created to explore how we might foster more ecologically conscious ways of thinking about and interacting with places, it has since developed into a place-based framework, utilising the concepts of creativity, care and criticality to approach complex issues, and understanding how we can challenge ourselves to create genuinely regenerative cultures. Having grown up in London, Jonathan was particularly interested in urban environments and the way they shape behaviour. Jonathan has applied this approach as a writer, curator, researcher and co-creator of The Ideas Bank.
