Current Research Interests
In my dissertation project, “Regional transformative capacities for shaping sustainable futures,” I investigate the prerequisites and capabilities that regional stakeholder groups need and develop in order to successfully initiate and implement transformation processes towards sustainability. The geographical focus is on northwestern Lower Saxony.
The doctoral research is being conducted as part of the collaborative AgriChange (agri:lab X4) project.
