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.
