I tell stories. Here are some about me.
I knit mittens and other wearable things, mostly for people who inspire me. I collect botanic gardens. A capuchin monkey named Baby once tried to brush my teeth. I love reading books and watching TV shows that take me to other worlds and other times. I have a thing for odd-looking trees.
I am a researcher, educator and process facilitator. My research focuses on biosphere reserves, landscape stewardship and how to apply resilience thinking in practice. I like to explore creative ways to weave different kinds of knowledge through dialogue and art.
WHAT I DO
Researcher
In my research, I use transdisciplinary approaches to study how relationships between people and nature shape collaboration, learning and stewardship, and how these insights can support more resilient and sustainable governance.
I hold a PhD in sustainability science from Stockholm Resilience Centre.
Here’s my list of publications.
Educator
I teach sustainability science, resilience thinking and transdisciplinarity using interactive and creative methods, for example performance art and poetry.
Knitter, writer & garden photographer
I design my own knitwear. I photograph botanic gardens. And I have been writing to make sense of the world ever since I was a child.
