+
+What does successful mobilisation look like?
+
+---
+
+class: middle
+
+## My definition:
+
+- Improved public visibility on issues of concern
+- Enhanced engagement with poliymakers
+- Impact! ... responsive action on both household and public policy levels
+
+---
+
+class: center, middle
+
+But, what does successful mobilisation *look* like?
+
+Marches, demonstations, "buzz", large crowds, energy, surprises...
+
+---
+
+Caveat #1:
+
+Not just *action* but **quality of** action
+
+- Implies a better understanding of the underpinning issues (do we understand what is at stake in mobilisation on climate change, or do we just "feel" it?)
+- Involves reflection on effective forms it might take
+- May generate less visible forms of enhanced relationality: new alliances and an improved basis for future political action.
+
+---
+
+Caveat #2:
+
+We (Christians) have some specific barriers
+1. *Policymakers* do not understand how Christians are engaging with environmental issues

+
+This is, in many ways, a completely new field.
+
+Eco-theology has struggled to engage with mainstream Christian scholarly reflection
+Social scientists have reinforced rather than questioned stereotypes about Christainity
+Political leadership lacks literacy about religion in Britain
+
+---
+
+My work:
+
+- Establish a new field of study that engages theological reflection, ethnography of religious environmentalism and data science. 
+- Theology leading a conversation with geographers, policical scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, economists.
+- Communicate this research to public policy audience, third sector, and Christian communities.
