    In late September, 2025 Mette participated in a roundtable that was part of an open seminar series organized by the Environmental Humanities research group at Roskilde University. The roundtable took up themes concerning social and environmental actions across places and imaginaries. Important questions discussed included: to what extent are we able to find common ground across differences such as social economic divides, inequality across global North and South, and differences in modes of activism? How is social and environmental action related? Can slow activism and embodied, everyday forms of participation be a path to approaching the urgent crisis?

    The round table was organized as a dialogue between researchers, activists and practitioners and included, in addition to Mette, anthropologist and professor Marisol de la Cadena, UC Davies, California, farmer and activist Tannie Nybroe, Moseg?rden, geographer Michael Haldrup, Roskilde University, geographer Mathilda Rosengren, Malm? University and critical heritage scholar Moniek Driesse, University of Antwerp.
