Ik heb verteld bij Argos hoe mijn ervaringen met pesten op het werk me hebben geïnspireerd om een boek over het onderwerp te gaan schrijven.

'Wat je krijgt is wat je verdient.' Geniale zet van het kapitalisme om alle verantwoordelijkheid bij het individu te leggen, niet bij het collectief, zegt schrijver Veronique Scharwächter op onze avond over #postkapitalisme .

The keynote talk of Prof Esther Turnhout 🦄🌎💚🌼 (questions and answers included) was possibly one of the best I’ve heard at a conference. Inspiring to insist in questioning how and why we do science #gfoe23

Thought-provoking keynote by Prof Esther Turnhout 🦄🌎💚🌼 at #gfoe2023 : Scientific facts do not speak for themselves. They are always framed (by scientists and others). As a consequence, science can even become an obstacle to transformation.

'We only need conservation because we destroy nature. We could also stop to destroy nature, then we would not need conservation' fantastic keynote by Prof Esther Turnhout 🦄🌎💚🌼 on how Science is part of the problem with #conservation and #transformation #gfoe23

A #GFoe23 morning portion of food for thought from the key talk of Prof Esther Turnhout 🦄🌎💚🌼 from University of Twente (inactive):
🗣️ 'We only need #conservation because we destroy #nature 🌿. If we stop destroying nature, we will not need the conservation.'🤔 #GfO2023

My take-home from this morning's keynote at #gfoe23 :
Be aware of the framing and underlying values of your research.
Can it support transformative change, or will it be used to justify existing power relationships.
Thanks, Prof Esther Turnhout 🦄🌎💚🌼 for challenging us 😉
