Transforming the human<>nature relationship

I research how belief systems impact our perceptions of nature and our actions towards the environment. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge investigating our relationship to place and the agency of nature from the perspective of philosophy and theology.

&quot;The idealist is the one who will not make deals. He puts all his resources on one spot- courage or compassion or truth- and then goes for it. He may triumph. He may crash. He may in time do both. &quot; Mark Edmundson.
