Dr. Marleen Schutter is a postdoctoral research fellow at WorldFish and Ocean Nexus, University of Washington. Her work focuses on the discourse and political economy of defining and enacting sustainability transformations, such as the emergent blue economy. She is interested in the governance of equity and justice issues of such transformations, particularly for small-scale actors in food systems. Her current research seeks to identify avenues for the blue economy approach to become more equitable in the face of multiple competing interests, examining how power relations play a role in shaping governance across scales, and how they affect material conditions on the ground.
