Partly, I wanted to meet one of Europe鈥檚 peripheries and, in so doing, better understand its centres. Most of all, I hoped to engage with the Sami, the EU鈥檚 only recognised indigenous group.

- Sustainable Belonging in a Migratory WorldFrom most people鈥檚 gut perspective, belonging is rooted in a kind of from-ness. Like a tree, you are rooted in a place. Though it鈥檚 not easily admitted in liberal society, one鈥檚 rootedness is usually detected by skin colour and facial features. Even amongst the most welcoming of insiders, there is an unspoken assumption that those here first get to decide how things ought to be. On a secondary level, cultural behaviour confers belonging. 鈥淥kay, their grandparents aren鈥檛 from here, but at least they get our way of life.鈥濃嬧嬧嬧嬧嬧嬧嬄燘ut what is this 鈥渙ur鈥 anyway?鈥嬧嬧嬧嬧嬧嬧/en/opinie/sustainable-belonging-in-a-migratory-world

- Post fossil freedomFreedom remains one of the most evocative political rallying cries around the world. It is central to the notion of humanitarian intervention, which has dragged Western nations into war since the 18th century. It was successfully mobilised to found the welfare state. And it is now a buzzword for the nativists being swept to power across the world鈥ven if the urge for freedom speaks to something deep within us, what it means changes from place to place, and from one generation to the next. Both lessons are crucial for those wishing to mobilise environmental action. Those who write the book of freedom gain huge political rewards./en/opinie/post-fossil-freedom
