Rebecca Froese focuses on social engagement for social-ecological transformation, embedded in larger questions of justice, social cohesion, democracy, and conflict transformation. One of her current projects at the Center of Interdisciplinary Sustainability Research (ZIN) in Münster, Germany, and the Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS), Potsdam, focuses on conflicts and violent structures in societies coping with polycrisis, with a particular focus on land conflicts; another explores artistic methods for creating spaces for dialogue for conflict transformation in the context of social-ecological transformation. Dr. Froese completed her Ph.D. at the intersection of peace and conflict studies and environmental sciences on social cohesion, land conflicts, and social-ecological tipping points in the southwestern Amazon. She studied Integrated Climate System Sciences and Geosciences in Hamburg, Germany, Victoria (Canada), and Bremen, Germany.
