Michelle Chevelev-Bonatti has successfully completed her habilitation at Humboldt University Berlin.
The public lecture, the final component of the habilitation process, took place on April 30, 2025, and focused on the compelling topic of "Gendered Dynamics and Intersectionality in Agricultural Change". In her presentation, Michelle Chevelev-Bonatti explored the intricate ways in which gender and other intersecting social factors shape and influence agricultural transformation processes. Her analysis shed light on crucial dynamics often overlooked in traditional approaches to agricultural development.
The successful public lecture follows the submission and acceptance of Dr. Chevelev-Bonatti's habilitation thesis, titled "Social Learning for Sustainable Natural Resources Management in the Global South" . Her work is poised to make a substantial contribution to the field of social learning by bridging critical gaps in the current understanding of how learning systems and pedagogical models can be effectively applied to address the complex resource management challenges faced by marginalized communities in the Global South.
