RS (Reineke) van Tol MSc
PromovendusAs lecturer and PhD candidate at FNP I study and teach on the relational being of humans in the world and the implications of that for nature conservation and care-full co-existence on the planet. My work departs from a post-humanist, eco-feminist lens, decentring the human and reflecting upon our conceptualizations of (the rest of) nature, our position in this complex web of interrelations and the agency of non-human beings in the web. I am currently working on a PhD around relational, transformative learning practices in 'wild' learning spaces, situated in a liquid modern world facing climate change and biodiversity loss.
