Svea Busse
Knowing and being are entangled – our worldviews shape the landscapes we inhabit.
With a background in geography and sustainability sciences, I am an interdisciplinary scholar exploring how research can more accurately understand and represent humans as embedded in larger systems. Therefore, I aim to ground my research practice in curiosity, care, and relationality.
Before joining the IDK, I worked at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology in Barcelona, mapping socio-ecological vulnerabilities to centre justice in urban green space planning, and at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, where I investigated how nature-based interventions can support human health and community resilience.
Having lived in dense urban areas for many years, I make it a priority to spend much of my spare time in the outdoors. This also inspired my dissertation project, which investigates socio-ecological transformation processes around alpine grasslands.
