I am a researcher-activist involved in the degrowth movement. I am a member of the editorial collective of the Degrowth journal and a founding member of Degrowth London. My PhD research centres on the concept of ‘frugal abundance’, which applies to societies in which everyone lives well without consuming too much. I am carrying out participatory and mixed method research with rural and indigenous communities in Kenya and Iceland to better understand what frugal abundance means for them, how it works in practice and how they think that this way of life could flourish elsewhere. I have previously worked in NGOs on social-environmental topics after transitioning from mathematics to the social sciences.
Degrowth aims to achieve ‘frugal abundance’
Degrowth is about building societies in which everyone is rich – without much material. It is a desirable project to strive for.

Degrowth Is Everywhere ~ Here and Now
Since alternatives are already partly there, in the everyday lives of all of us as well as in some institutions, we do not have to start from scratch. Just considering that these glimpses of alternatives exist is a reason for hope.
