Personal information
Rosa Spruit is a PhD candidate at the Athena Institute, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Using multiple case studies and an action research approach, she studies the dynamics between multi-level governance and local citizen initiatives working toward sustainable systemic transformation. Her research focuses on what happens when top-down and bottom-up governance approaches intersect, examining how these interactions influence and shape different sustainability transitions. Within the broader field of transition studies, she is particularly interested in governance, institutional theory, and political theory.
