I am passionate about research and education in relation to social and environmental justice and feminist political ecology, from the forests of Nepal to urban green spaces in Scandinavia. I am inspired by the discourses and ideas of degrowth/postgrowth. I also enjoy working with education development including the use of new technologies.
I am Course Responsible for Natur og Landskabspolitik (Nature and Landscape Policy and Politics; BA) and Motivation and Pro-Environmental Behaviour: Managing Change (MSc) and co-teach Environmental Justice (MSc). I organized the PhD course Degrowth in Europe: Foundations in Theory and Pathways to Practice and co-taught the PhD course Gender and the Environment. I frequently guest lecture on topics such as food justice, participation and inclusion in theory and practice, and more.
