Welcome!
2021-2022, I have been Visiting Professor in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria. In addition, I acted as Senior Expert and Project Coordinator in the field of environmental governance and socio-ecological transitions at the Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Vienna. End-2023 I shifted back to the International Politics Team at the University of Vienna, and became Climate Change Advisor and Project Manager at Brot für die Welt/Diakonie-ACT, Austria. In addition, I am lecturing at the Vienna School of International Studies (Diplomatische Akademie) and the University of Applied Sciences of Vienna. Between 2016 and 2021, I held a Research Professorship in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the Universidad de Las Américas, Quito. Since 2017 I continuously serve as a permanent Member of the Doctoral Committee (PhD in Technology Management, Society and the Enviornment) in the Faculty of Management Studies, National Polytechnic University of Ecuador. I have also held visiting professorships at FLACSO Ecuador (2019-2020), in its Dept. of Development, Territory and Environmental Studies, and the IPEAT Latin America Chair at the University Jean Jaurès of Toulouse (2019). ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7183-0381. I also figure on the Advisory Committee of the International Journal on Social Quality and WoS-indexed journal Letras Verdes, and I currently serve on the Board of the International Development Ethics Association. Holding a PhD in Anthropology and Sociology of Development, from IHEID, Geneva, and Masters in Intercultural Philosophy and International Development (University of Vienna), as well as a professional diploma in Economics and Business Administration, I am grappling with a variety of interlinked topics: - the so-called "resilience-vulnerability nexus" in international relations, increasingly blending foreign politics with direct interventions in the field of climate change. - disaster risk reduction, prevention, vulnerability analysis, gendered-dimensions of life reproduction and recovery in the Pacific-Andean region; - food sovereignty, permaculture, agroecology and their upscaling and gender-dimensions with regard to urban-rural development; - maritime and coastal common pool resource systems; - sustainable livelihoods and green transitions worldwide; - emerging middle classes, gender and environmental impact in South-East and French Africa; - extractivist cultures, resistance and transformation; - human rights' and SDG assessments and measurements, - horizontal and vertical inequalities and intersectionalities; - intercultural human development; - South-South relations and regionalism; - indigenous and nature rights (incl. Buen Vivir/Vivir bien/sumak kawsay); - international governance of sustainability and human rights; Find my academic publications and other writings on Researchgate and Academia.edu.
