Yesterday our Transformative Research PhD course came to a close! I am deeply grateful to the amazing group of researchers—participants and teachers alike—who showed how academia can truly be a space filled with creativity, compassion, solidarity and criticality all at once❤️

The last two weeks, I had the unique opportunity to participate in the Transformative Research PhD Course at the University of Twente. We discussed what transformative research is and should be. I am thankful to Josie Chambers and the team for organizing such a transformative course.

So exciting to have Josie Chambers give a guest lecture to our Global Change Institute students today. As always, we got so much out of your thoughtful engagement and especially for taking so much time to engage with their questions and discussions on knowledge #Coproduction Whose frame/politics?

In April we had a very interesting #Nestwebinar from Josie Chambers about The Power of Art and Creativity in Sustainability Transitions. Thanks so much to Josie and to all who attended! A recording of the presentation is now available on our youtube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=v1fwtH…

After 7 trains, a bus, and now ferry, well on my way to Turku, Finland. Looking forward to meeting old and new friends this week at the 16th NESS—Nordic Environmental Social Science conference!

At #NESS2024 Conference in #Turku the 1st Keynote Josie Chambers Urban Futures Studio Utrecht University suggests to give attention to #radicalimagination to create (im)possible #futures but whose #imagination matter? Organized by Åbo Akademi University and Turun yliopisto - University of Turku #NESS, #EnvSocSci, #Co_creating.

An inspiring start of the #NESS2024 in Turku, with Josie Chambers keynote tgat was a ride from #knowledge #coproductio, to #utopia to #speculative sociology and #worldmaking, followed by a discussion on #coloniality of science, #justice, #radical #imagining and #dreaming.

At the #NESS2024 Conference, Josie Chambers chose not to focus on the dominant ways people have been co-producing knowledge & action for #sustainability. But to take stock of the field and ask: what exactly are we co-producing? Read the #UtopianPulses blog: uu.nl/en/opinion/a-s…

Final day of ‘Utopia*Art*Politics’ Sessions. It’s been a wild, tumultuous and exhilarating ride. Great performances, discussions and plotting. Grateful to Josie Chambers & Urban Futures Studio for organising such a fab event 💫 we need + more spaces for grieving, healing & organising.

Nosie (Nx & I) experimenting with live looping at Dreaming in the Dark, inspired by the many provocations that fed into the Utopia*Art*Politics Sessions. Thanks everyone for such a wonderfully (re)generative few days!
