Profile
I joined the University of Leeds in September 2022, as Teaching Fellow in Ecological Economics. Before joining the University of Leeds I worked as University Teacher in Ecological Economics at the University of Edinburgh.
I have a multidisciplinary background that includes Ecological and Environmental Economics, Statistics, Indigenous Studies, a bit of Humanities, and a few years of experience as IT/data warehouse consultant.
I am interested in teaching, knowledge dissemination, and research on environmental-social issues, and in particular on the reasons behind our behaviour towards the environment.
Responsibilities
- Library Liaison for the School of Earth and Environment
- Co-Lead of the Life and Land Research Cluster
Research interests
My main research interests are Ecological Economics, Decolonising Economics, Economic Education, and human behaviour towards the Earth.
My preferred approaches are inter-/transdisciplinary and/or transcultural. I particularly appreciate Decolonising lenses and the questioning of mainstream Western paradigms.
A list of my publications is available on my Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and LinkedIn profiles.
