Back in 2021, ASI Seed Money edition funded a project about Interrelating the Anthropocene.
This year, Prof. Peter-Ben Smit, Professor of Contextual Biblical Interpretation at the Faculty of Religion and Theology and research team member of the seed money project together with Iris Veerbeek, coordinator of another winning seed money project, Locusts and Wild Honey, has published a journal article entitled Apophatic theology as a resource for eco-theology.
Congratulations to Iris and Peter-Ben on this successful interdisciplinary research and for inspiring others through this excellent example of what can be achieved through the seed money project.

Throwback to Seed Money 2021 project:
Interrelating the Anthropocene
Operating at the interface of the humanities: theology/religious studies, the social sciences, and biology, this project investigates the potential of cultural and religious imaginations, practices, and conceptualisations for reimagining human-nature relationships in the context of the Anthropocene. In a series of focused workshops (on human-plant relations; human-animal relations, and food practices), an interdisciplinary group of experts will come together to discuss how, why, or even if cultural and religious conceptualisations and practices matter for human-nature relationships in the Anthropocene.
