London

I am a degrowth and decolonisation enthusiast who is trying to find meaning by helping companies with their circular economy and sustainability strategies.  A big advocate for reuse business models and rental services, but mostly I focus on how we can live within our means and be happy.  I am passionate about building African cities that suit our needs without adhering to western standards and showcasing all that we have to offer e.g. the importance of reclaimers in making South African suburbs more circular.      

Nijmegen, The Netherlands

I am an Assistant Professor at the chair group of Economic Theory and Policy at Radboud University. I am co-coordinating the multi-disciplinary hotspot Transformative sustainable change in Action at my institute and lead the Participatory Policy Hub with Sustainable Futures Global. My research focuses on transformations and transformative governance towards post-growth and post-development models. My main empirical focus is West and Central Africa.   Since my first year as a student in economics, I have been struggling with the content of what I learned. I was lucky enough however to study at a University (Lille) with a real pluralist non-mainstream institute (Clersé, gathering heterodox economists and sociologists), and realised how much the assumptions and foundations of the economics field are wicked. Now I am back as an Assistant Professor in an economics department in the Netherlands that is not the usual type and one of my goals being an academic is to contribute to changing the discipline and the way we teach from the inside.  Being part of this action lab is an amazing opportunity for this. Besides, we can see so many changes in society as in academia. However, economics departments are not changing or very slowly in comparison, and it is urgently needed as economists are mainly heard when formulating recommendations. Let’s join forces!    

London

As an economics undergraduate I became very disenchanted by the traditional economic theories and decided not to pursue a career in the area. Having read donut economics back in 2017 and recently discovering DEAL, I’m looking for new ways to contribute towards a community which is looking to redirect society towards policies that improve lives in a more sustainable,  equitable and holistic way. #netzero #carboncapture
