Abstract

This study investigates diverse circular economies (CEs) and multispecies ethnographic methods in the small-scale contexts of Vorselaar, Belgium, and Røros, Norway, to challenge dominant anthropocentric and capitalocentric CE models. It highlights how community-driven sustainability initiatives in Vorselaar and the integration of cultural heritage in Røros exemplify care-full justice and bioregionalism, emphasizing multispecies wellbeing and ecological citizenship. The research underscores the importance of transcending administrative boundaries and incorporating multispecies narratives and indigenous knowledge to foster inclusive, regenerative economic practices. Through qualitative, immersive methods, the study reveals how diverse CE practices can address multispecies injustices and promote relational, care-centric approaches to sustainability in rural European settings.
