Peter Reason was Director of the Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice at the University of Bath, England, and an international leader in the development of participative approaches to action research. He co-edited the Handbook of Action Research: Participative Inquiry and Practice (2006, 2008) and co-founded the journal Action Research. Since retiring from full time academic work, Peter has focused on writing books and articles that link the tradition of nature writing with the ecological crisis of our times, drawing on scientific, ecological, philosophical and spiritual sources. His later books include: Spindrift: A wilderness pilgrimage at sea (2014); In Search of Grace: An ecological pilgrimage (2017); and most recently (with artist Sarah Gillespie) On Presence: Essays | Drawings (2019); and On Sentience: Essays | Drawings (2021).
