Biography
Deb Cleland is currently working on how individuals and institutions can build social capital to improve regulation, quality of life and citizen engagement. Combining her background in human ecology and interest in creative research approaches, Deb is working out how to create playful pathways to participation as well as how to best incorporate dreadful alliteration into website biographies. She blogs on occasion at www.onefishtofish.com and tweets from @debisda. When not making ends meet through short-term research contracts, you can watch her perform (usually for free) as an acrobat with the aerial dance troupe SolcoAcro or the arts group Distaffik Collective.
