Society sphere
In this theme, we explore the ways humans enact their relationships with forests and nature and the implications for forest and nature governance and management.
We apply a diversity of approaches and perspectives, ranging from value theory to multi-species ethnography. We use qualitative as well as quantitative methods, with a strong interest in transdisciplinary approaches. Our topics range from environmental conflicts to stewardship, from community-based forestry to re-naturing cities, and from understanding the plural values and meanings of non-human nature to mobilising connectedness to nature for transformative change.
