I am an assistant professor in environmental geography and development studies at the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies, Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, University of Amsterdam (UvA). I am also teaching at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies, at the UvA Faculty of Science.
My research and teaching focus on forging links across disciplinary divides—mostly in the areas of political ecology, inclusive development, post-development, degrowth and systems science.
I have also been involved in establishing the Dutch degrowth plaform Ontgroei and leading an action research and social justice programme with practitioners in Bangladesh.
Let's bring UvA together to discuss #biodiversityconservation!

New leaked tax data:
The “richest 25 Americans pay less in tax … than most mainstream US workers. … Ultra-wealthy people can sidestep the system in an entirely legal way."
This is sickening. We need massive tax reforms now (also outside US!).

“We now have the capacity to act as Earth’s conscience, its brain.” Attenborough’s scientism makes me feel very uncomfortable... #breakingboundaries
