This book is a practice-based research compilation that began as an idea. We wanted to create a dissemination channel for art, media and design research at Emily Carr. We wanted to showcase the work of the community&nbsp;writ large; students, faculty, staff, alumni, and local partners, and more. We aimed to champion equity, diversity, ethical practice, and to reflect the diverse&nbsp;and pluriversal nature of the Emily Carr community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">After months of preparation (beginning with an unassuming no-reply email), and thanks to the dedication and tireless work of the Occasional Press team and our contributors, we were able to launch the first edition of <em>Occasional Papers<\/em> in the summer of 2022. \u00ad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This challenging and diverse collection reflects a spectrum of practice-based work, connected through a rhizome of themes touching on sustainability and reciprocity, working with More than Human beings, place-based material practice, and sustainability and economics. It includes human-centred research champion storytelling for mental health and consider resilience through VR in the wake of COVID-19, art labour market, the use of XR to support chronic illness, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The collection represents a balance of contributions from faculty, under-graduate and graduate students (MFA and MDes), as well as alumni \u2013 truly a broad spectrum of community contributions in what is normally a rather siloed institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
