Exploring postgrowth economies, work and livelihoods

Helsinki, 2021

I’m an activist-scholar focusing on postgrowth economies, work and livelihoods.

My ongoing research contributes to the growing transdisciplinary research and activism that challenges the economic growth as an imperative. In addition to conceptual work I focus on exploring examples and advancing ongoing initiatives.

Finally it is time for STREAMS Transformative Environmental Humanities conference! And I put on some lipstick to celebrate this occasion! Welcome new followers! The final month of Nordic summer is a good time to introduce myself. My sense of an annual cycle has started sometime in the autumn as long as I can remember. Drying harvested onions. It is a mix this year. Our first ever home-grown spaghetti squash prepared with herbs, broad beans and red onions from our garden. Symbol by a tree for bypassers. Perhaps: Right this way. Summer party day! I'm about to embark on a journey. I'm reading notebooks from the past six months. That's when I modified the style of my journaling, thanks to Natalie Goldberg's book "Writing down the bones." The experience of sitting on warm rocks in the sunset, after a gourmet picnic, in good company was far greater than this image can ever deliver. This is a memento. Welcome everyone at ISEE-Degrowth 2021 conference to the participatory Fada session!

Let’s make something together.
