Chair of Economic Geography

I am a political economist with a strong interdisciplinary background in the critical social sciences. Broadly construed, my research interests lie in the relationship between environment and economy under capitalism. This includes questions of uneven development, of the systemic and intersectional exploitation of socio-ecological relations, of degrowth, and of the political economy of food systems. I also have a strong interest in how different traditions approach these topics, specifically mainstream vs. heterodox economics and Marxist economic geography.

Before joining the Chair of Economic Geography in Bayreuth, I worked towards my PhD in development economics at SOAS. During this time, I also was a visiting doctoral student at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at the Ludwig Maximilian Universität in Munich.
