Orson Zuanic (1997), originally from Sydney, Australia, is currently a master’s student studying Governance of Sustainability at Leiden University. As a student and advocate of degrowth, Orson is pursuing research on degrowth’s human side, investigating ways to redefine meaning, happiness, and prosperity within this framework. Orson aims to initiate conversations, challenge existing paradigms, and inspire fellow students and colleagues to explore their identities and place in a degrowth world.

Existing outside the box: How community-centred philosophies can help shape a degrowth society
