Misha Velthuis
Earth Scientist and Political Ecologist
My background is in Earth Science and Political Ecology. In general, I try to explore how we depend on each other and the world around us, and how these dependencies are changing (being changed) over time. This broad interest has led me to collect stories on the expansion of supermarket chains in agricultural markets in India, but has also opened up research questions on climate science, climate denialism and the rise of the far right. The last two years, I have been increasingly concerned over the way we are digitally connected: who and what do we depend on? What alternative digital worlds are possible?
