Kennari

Dr. Joost Dessein:

is an associate professor at the department of Agricultural Economics (Ghent University, Belgium), an affiliated member of the Centre for Sustainable Development (UGent) and a promotor of the recently established Urban Academy. He holds an Msc in Agricultural Engineering and a Msc and PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology, all of which obtained at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium).
Joost chairs the research group on Institutional, Socio-economic and Political Issues in Rural-urban Areas (INSPIRA). The main focus of INSPIRA is the study of rural and urban development processes in the food system . The research group tackles different issues related to food governance, social and environmental justice, knowledge systems, economic development, and food production and markets. Building synergies within the research group, as well as with other partners, is part of the strategic orientation of the INSPRIA, as we believe that co-creation, synergy and interdisciplinarity are necessary key-elements of a state-of-the-art research group.
Joost’s teaching and research expertise lies in the fields of Sociology of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. Teaching courses such as ‘Sociological perspectives on rural development’, ‘Food policy’, ‘Sustainable Food Systems’ or 'Community Engagement', Joost inspires his students to become critical and reflexive researchers and professionals. Ongoing research includes the governance of urban food systems (Ecuador, Tanzania, Belgium); the mobilising power of agroecology as a (counter-hegemonic) movement and practice (Bolivia, Argentina, Europe); and the recognition and valorisation of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in processes of food system innovation (Ghana) and regional development (Belgium, Europe).
From 2019 till 2023, he has been President of the European Society for Rural Sociology, the leading European organisation for rural sociology (ESRS).

„Teaching to international students is extremely rewarding. As a lecturer in the International Master of Science in Rural Development and the international Master of Science in Nutrition and Food Systems, I’m used to meet students from all over the globe in the classroom. It’s very enriching to interact with people from such diverse cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. Based on these experiences, I’m thrilled to exchange with the students at the UW in Ísafjorður! Ég hlakka til!“
