I am looking for a project to join
• Labs and transformative learning spaces for sustainability - multi-stakeholder design, comparative and embedded research designs
• Participatory, systemic, and futures-oriented process development - both methodological design, as well as process evaluations
• Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary sustainability studies, focused on transitions and transformations
• Co-creation approaches - workshops, value elicitation, principles-based inquiry, participatory systems mapping, data harvesting, design thinking around both problem and solution spaces
• Futures methodologies - principles-based backcasting as social learning methodology

I am interested in searching for possibility to collaborate around Theme C: The contribution of Nature-Based Solutions for just transformative change. In particular, I have a deep interest in processes of social learning for transformations in human-nature relations, preferably, but not limited to, urban contexts. These transformations concern both inner dimensions of change, as well as sources of unsustainability within existing socio-ecological-technical systems.

I am thematically open, but searching for a project that is case-based, has deep interdisciplinarity/transdisciplinarity at its centre, that links nature based solutions with deep levers for change and deep sources of unsustainability. My research interests can contribute with a grounded learning orientation, reflexive process development and experience with a variety of co-creation/futures methodologies. In addition, I can contribute with a Norwegian case where nature-based learning is at the centre.
