One paragraph says it all

This is the Coles Notes version of what my next two years of research look like:

My area of concentration centers in the domain of restorative green economies. A guiding question is: “How can re-envisioning the way humanity creates wealth and earns a living radically restore the well-being of the biosphere?” It is my goal to engage with methodologies that seek to transform our current economic systems by integrating ecological economics, transformative ecology, and indigenous knowledge as tools in this process . The study of of these possibilities requires bridging the fields of economics, ecology, aboriginal knowledge, and psychology. This study also bridges the theoretical, philosophical and practical. A path of exploration is the synergy between these areas in the face of their apparent surface disparity. How can the coming together of these realms culminate in a new reality? Out of these research questions, an area of interest that I plan to examine is the emerging field of “Green Collar” work. Green Collar work operates from the demands for green and sustainable development while restoring the biosphere. I see this as an emergent field that contains potentialities to address several concerns at once: a hunger in society for meaningful employment, society’s psychological need to reconnect with the natural order, and an ever-pressing need for ecological restoration and sustainability.
