About the Author
The author is the Green Party MEP for the East of England (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Herts and Beds). Before election (in 2019) she was Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK. She has published extensively, books and articles on Ancient Philosophy, including Plato.
Before her election as MEP, Professor Rowett stood as the Green Party Parliamentary Candidate for South Norfolk, for the General Elections of 2015 and 2017, and for several county and city council seats in the Norwich and South Norfolk areas.
The views expressed on this blog are about a variety of things. Some of them are views and discussions about Green Party policies and about the policies of other parties in the UK and abroad. None of the views or reflections on this page are official party lines. Some of the views expressed here are critical of policies that may have once been endorsed by the Green Party of England and Wales, or may currently or in future be endorsed by the Party in its manifesto. The author's view is that people should be invited to think for themselves. There is no reason why you have to agree with everything that the party says. It may still be the best party for you, and if you join it, you can influence what it stands for!
The University of East Anglia is a world class research university with a particular reputation in Environmental Science. It hosts the Carbon Connections Programme and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and several other important research groups. There is a lively interdisciplinary Ecology research group in the School of Politics, Philosophy and Language & Communication Studies (PPL).

In Belgium last week we were offered the traditional Eastertide delicacy of Mechelse asperges – fresh young asparagus grown in the allotments around the primatial city of Mechlin, with the plants covered so that they don't develop chlorophyll and remain pallid.
Here's one serving suggestion for it, mechanically translated from the Flemish, which gives it a rather appealing quaintness.
Kruid the plakjes means to slice the liver and season it. Stroop is literally syrup, but here it probably means balsamic vinegar.
I have to say that "mechanically translated" is a euphemism. The "mechanically" bit may be true, but parts of it do not seem to qualify for the description "translated"!
