Vasna Ramasar

Activist-scholar, GTA

Denmark

Vasna Ramasar is a scholar-activist currently based in Scandinavia. Born and raised in South Africa, she developed an early understanding of freedom, people’s relationship to nature, and the realities of inequality. Her work focuses on understanding the broader picture of how human and planetary dynamics intersect, the complexity of these interactions, and their implications for justice. Through research, activism, consulting, artistic practice, and teaching, she seeks to support resistance to unsustainable hegemonic systems and contribute to the creation of radical alternatives.

Vasna has over ten years of experience working across Southern and Eastern Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. She is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Human Ecology at Lund University. She is also a founding member of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives and the Collective Against Environmental Racism in Denmark, a member of Post Extractive Futures, and serves on the steering committee for Women Against Destructive Extractivism in Africa.
