| Barbara Heinzen is a freelance geographer based in London, with a PhD from the School of Oriental & Africa Studies, University of London. Her independent professional practice in long range scenarios and planning began in 1987 after working for two years with Royal Dutch Shell where she was trained in scenario planning and strategy. She is particularly interested in societies in transition, with experience in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. Her book, Feeling for Stones, explores how ecological societies might be invented in the coming decades.
Recently, Barbara Heinzen has been developing a new project, the Barbets' Duet. This will create new institutional forms which integrate ecological principles in everyday social, political and economic affairs. These new institutions will be invented by both Western and non-Western people engaging with each other in order to design and run institutional experiments on equal terms.
