Dougald Hine (born 1977 in Cambridge, England) is a British author, editor and social entrepreneur. He co-founded School of Everything[1] and The Dark Mountain Project,[2] of which he is Director at Large. In 2011, he was named one of Britain's 50 top radicals by NESTA.[3]
Hine went to school in Darlington, and studied English literature at Oxford University. Following his first degree, he studied broadcast journalism at Sheffield Hallam and then spent four years as a BBC journalist (2002-2005). From 2005 to 2006, he lived and worked for a year in China's turbulent and far western province of Xinjiang. He has been involved a number of projects and initiatives.[4] Hine noticed two blog posts written by Paul Kingsnorth in 2007, one a rant in which Kingsnorth announced his abandonment of journalism, and one in which Kingsnorth expressed satisfaction at the failure of an international climate change meeting. Hine and Kingsnorth exchanged emails, and in 2008 they met in a pub. Following their exchanges and meetings, they published Uncivilization: The Dark Mountain Manifesto in 2009.[5]
In 2012, he left London for Sweden. Since 2015, he has been working with the National Swedish Touring Theatre (Riksteatern)[6] and as associate of the Centre for Environment and Development Studies (CEMUS) at Uppsala University[7]
Together with Anna Björkman, Hine founded a school called HOME, a gathering place and a learning community for those who are drawn to the work of regrowing a living culture.[8]
In 2021 Hine together with Geska Helena Brecevic hosted a digital roundtable on artistic livelihoods and their long -term sustainability Making a Living -Making a life.[9] There Hine shared some thoughts and questions about artistic livelihoods and their long-term sustainability, drawing on his experiences as co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project and a school called HOME, as well as his work as leader of artistic development at the National Swedish Touring Theater (Riksteatern).
