Inhabiting Otherwise
In this paper, I take the case of Maasai pastoralists' land struggles as an entry point to demonstrate ontological struggles over how land is known, treated and managed in Tanzania.

Firstly, I…
Neglected Components in Dominant Accounts of a Good Life? - Disagreements among Maasai Pastoralists
Lists of basic needs necessary for a decent human life have found their way into approaches to sustainable development such as the "Safe and Just Space for Humanity" framework.

Wir argumentieren, dass ein unumstrittener Kern des Bioökonom…

Our argument is that …
