Professor, University of Utrecht, Netherlands

I joined Utrecht University, School of Governance in July 2019 from Massey University, Massey Business School (Aotearoa New Zealand). With my research, I attempt to access, support and work with/for activist communities that address the most urgent and current issues of our contemporary society concerning unsustainable practices and socio-ecological crises. In particular, I study activist (postcapitalist) organisational practices as the main drivers of bottom-up social change that potentially transform institutions. Drawing arguments from critical political economy, I problematize hegemonic power relations leading to economic inequalities and social exclusion at the organizational and societal levels, and focus on theories of postcapitalism to offer ecologically sustainable and socially just alternatives.
