Tilde Krusberg is a MSc student at the Social-Ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development programme, working in the Human Ocean theme.

Krusberg is interested in the interaction between sociopolitical dynamics and biophysical realities, with a particular focus on post-growth perspectives on large-scale societal and environmental change. At the SRC, this has manifested in an engagement in the Human Ocean theme. Here, she is currently writing her master’s thesis on post-growth futures for the High Seas using science fiction prototyping. Krusberg is also working as a research assistant at the centre, researching valuation of marine genetic resources.

Krusberg has a background in environmental science, with a BSc from Linköping University. There, she did her bachelor’s thesis on mangrove forestry as Nature-based climate adaptation in a remote island in the char area of southern Bangladesh. The thesis can be accessed through DiVA. She is also currently finishing her BA in the history of ideas, where she has focused her studies on environmental orientalism, environmentalist imaginaries in literature, and environmental humanities more broadly.

Krusberg has previously worked with sustainable economic development with Sweden's national coordinator for the 2030 Agenda at the Swedish Government Offices. There, she was mainly involved in the making of a roadmap for sustainable economic development in Sweden. She has also previously briefly worked with Sweden's Society for Nature Conservation and the International Negotiations Survey at Linköping University.
