Bio
I am a PhD candidate in the joint PhD programme in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies and IUSS Pavia.
My main research interests are in environmental and political philosophy. Currently, my work focuses on historical materialist critiques of the ecological crisis and Chinese ecological civilization theory.
