Yesterday our Transformative Research PhD course came to a close! I am deeply grateful to the amazing group of researchers—participants and teachers alike—who showed how academia can truly be a space filled with creativity, compassion, solidarity and criticality all at once❤️

Different worldviews and knowledge systems influence the ways people interact with and value nature. — @‌IPBES #ValuesAssessment All these values must be considered to effectively address the #biodiversity crisis. Read the Values Assessment Report: ipbes.net/the-values-ass….

Amazing atlas of innovative sustainability practices and institutional models at universities and higher education institutes: futureatlas.university Thanks to @portraitofadele and colleagues for pulling all of this together!

Interesting discussion here with @mariateng on what does empowering mean to each and every one of us. It is amazing to see how we see and conceive the meaning from different angles, backgrounds and experiences. #phdlife

@MarieStenseke Roligt att höra, grattis Marie!

Excited for the appointment as guest professor focussing on interdisciplinarity at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences slu.se/ew-nyheter/202… (via SLU)
