I am a postdoctoral transdisciplinary researcher and co-hosting the Special Interest Group on Justice, Power and Transformative Action in Sustainability - JUPITA. I am working on nurturing and growing a community of practice around JUPITA’s shared interests and values - within and beyond academia.
My main research interests lie in co-design and co-creative practices to pave the path towards more just, equitable, ecological and transformative development of our built environments, landscapes and lived experiences. My recent work and research projects have been situated at the nexus of nature-based solutions, the good life and urban gamification. Believing in grassroots initiatives for social inclusion and real change, I have been working with local communities notably in Beirut, Budapest and London.
I dream of a pluriversal world built on care and educated hope, where we inspire and lift each other up and include non-humans and more-than-humans in decision-making processes and conversations on the future we wish to live in.
I am always happy and enthusiastic to discuss transformative design, regenerative design, radically different ideas and approaches, un-learning, decolonizing our minds, co-creating knowledges, informal education, games & play to create leveled ground and facilitate genuine inclusion & diversity, nature & ecological approaches, urban farming & permaculture, indigenous practices, rediscovering-reconnecting with-rebuilding our relationships with our natural environments - please feel free to reach out.
