About

An award-winning actress, writer and academic, Amanda Douge works internationally in film, television and theatre, alongside her scholarship on climate transformations. She combines critical theory towards climate transformations with artistic practice, developing new ways of thinking and presenting research in provocative, comedic and impactful forms. Her work is gathering a growing audience across Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Poland, England, Estonia, U.S.A, Italy, and Australia.

​

A lecturer with the University of Greenwich and doctoral candidate with the University of Glasgow, Amanda's creative and critical thesis "Rosa Luxemburg and I" interrogates the ways in which poetic syntax can activate political agency for the purposes of climate revolution. ​She deconstructs inherited, carbon infrastructures through poetics reflecting on political economy, climate sociology, eco-socialism and social transformation.

Amanda's research is flexible to a variety of contexts, she has presented keynote performances, artistic interventions at roundtables and in conference settings, led academic workshops in performance/lecture/praxis formats, and performed in traditional arts settings including theatres, community arts venues and European literature houses.

Her research projects include; "Cassandra: Prophetic Furor" which uses the epic poetry form and archetype of Cassandra to examine AI, climate and water rights, "How to Blow Up a PowerPoint" a satirical intervention on the colonial, carbon complicit, corporate culture of the University and "Neoliberalism's Got Talent" a series of pieces that interrogate the greenwashing and anthropogenic through-lines within modernity. 

An experienced arts educator and accomplished theatre director, Amanda is interested in research-creation, interdisciplinary collaborations, creative writing and performance as a climate pedagogy in both educational and arts contexts. In 2025, she partnered with both University of Cambridge's CRASSH Lab to present in community settings and with The Gemini Centre for Post Consumerist Futures (NTNU, Norway) to present to a broad academic audience.
