Vasna Ramasar

Activist-scholar, GTA

Denmark

Vasna Ramasar is a scholar-activist currently based in Scandinavia. Vasna writes: I was born and raised in South Africa, a dynamic country, where I learnt important lessons of freedoms, people’s roles in nature and about inequality. I am most interested trying to understand the big picture of how people and planetary dynamics come together, the complexity of these interactions and implications for justice. I do so to support a resistance to the unsustainable hegemonic system and the creation of radical alternatives. I have 10 years research, activism, consulting, artistic practice and teaching experience across southern and eastern Africa, Asia, Europe and north America. I am an assistant professor at the Division of Human Ecology, Lund University. I am also a founding member of the Global Tapestry of Alternatives, the Collective Against Environmental Racism in Denmark; part of Post Extractive Futures and on the steering committee for Women Against Destructive Extractivism in Africa.
