[Academic research] How does fantasy fiction shape our ecological imagination? A 7-minute PhD survey

Hi r/solarpunk,

I'm a PhD researcher at the University of Kerala, India working on something I think this community will recognise instinctively: fantasy literature as a training ground for ecological imagination.

Tolkien's Shire can be restored. Jemisin's Stillness must be endured. Sanderson's Roshar adapts to perpetual storms. VanderMeer's Area X refuses human interpretation. These are four very different "ecological grammars" — and they may teach readers to feel very differently about the real ecological crises we're living through.

I've built a short pilot survey to test this. **6–8 minutes, fully anonymous, ethics-approved.** You'll read one ~500-word excerpt and share your response.

Two versions — please pick by birth month:

- **Jan–June:** https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSekTjBW_pTIYFnhKznrqGY8ugoumXKXyaCHnALqS0woOAuK7g/viewform

- **July–Dec:** https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSZCLCB0Vi_yHh6tuQJYHZ3m19AUWC87us1cOvJrpaYfMlOw/viewform

Given this sub's interest in how we imagine and build ecological futures, your responses would be especially valuable. I'll share findings back here when the pilot closes.

Thanks!

Looking for help running a Scopus & Embase search for research project

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well.

I’m working on a research project and unfortunately I don’t have access to Scopus or Embase through my institution.

Would anyone be willing to help me by running a search on these databases and sharing the results ?

I will provide the exact search engine, so you would just run the research.

I’d really appreciate any help — thank you in advance!

Theme park research project

Hi all, I am currently writing a research project on theme parks in the UK! This research aims to understand your preferences when visiting a theme park!

As many of you probably know, Theme parks worldwide implement a theory called ‘tourism experience design’ which aims to create a cohesive, immersive, and enjoyable experience for all visitors. This research wants to find out how you value the principles of experience design, and what aspects should be prioritised in the curation or evolution of a theme park.

If anyone could spare 5 minutes to fill out this questionnaire, it would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully, this research will benefit the Uk theme park industry.

Thank you 🤩
