Virtual Ruskin Land

Dion Dobrzynski is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, interested in how forests are imagined in the fantasy fiction of William Morris, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Through immersive walks and interactive workshops in the Wyre Forest, Dion has been using imaginary forests to help us better perceive and understand the forests around us. Watch the accompanying mini lecture to find out more about how his research has helped create this immersive tour:
