Our research is inspired by our commitment to transformative change towards just sustainable futures. Our work thus revolves around perceptions and governance of nature and landscapes. Focusing on hidden power dynamics, we engage various disciplines, stakeholders, and worldviews to find creative and (environmentally) just solutions to sustainability problems.
