Manuel Wagner
Manuel Wagner works at the urban, multifunctional agriculture Annalinde in Leipzig as an educationer for urban gardening and socio-ecological transformation. He studied at the University of Münster and worked at the StadtLabor of the Geo-Science department at the intersection of science, art and activism.
His research focuses on human-compost relations and ethics of care. For this he refers to thematic fields like feminist political ecology, more-than-human geography, new materialisms, care-relations or the speculative fabulation. What can humans learn from compost? How can we think society from the rotting? How can conscious human-soil or human-compost care-relations be conceived and created?
Country/Region of interest/research focus: human-compost-relations, ethics of care
