Carolien Hoogland has worked predominantly on the issues of urban development and patterns of food consumption. In her first year at DRIFT (2008) she learned about transition management in a hands-on manner: through being a monitor in a project on agricultural innovation and through drawing up a transition analyses of current patterns of food consumption in the Netherlands (together with Harry te Riele). She continued her work for the Rotterdam Climate Initiative, together with Derk Loorbach, and intends to do fundamental research on behavioural change – transitions on an individual level, so to speak – in an effort to add the perspective of end-users to transition theory and management.

Carolien holds a PhD in environmental psychology (2006, Institute for Environmental Studies, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). She completed her Masters at Nijmegen University (2001) and spent two years at the Center for Technology and Society at the Technical University of Berlin, where she wrote a thesis on architectural psychology.

In 2010 Carolien Hoogland works on a special project: she will live an entire year without money. She writes about this experience on eenjaarzondergeld.nl
