Welcome… to my homepage. Here you may find information concerning my work and research interests. I would be glad to answer your comments and/or suggestions on how it may be improved.
I was born and raised on Corfu, Greece, and I studied at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, (B.Sc.), University of East Anglia, UK (M.Sc.) και Keele University, UK (Ph.D.).
Since 2005 I have been at the Department of Environment, University of the Aegean, where I currently hold the post of Professor of Environmental Politics & Policy. Starting in 2021, I am also a Visiting Professor at the Department of History, Ionian University, Greece. In the past, I have taught (postgraduate level) at the International Hellenic University (Greece) and at the Central European University (Hungary).
My research and teaching focus on Environmental Politics and Sociology. More specifically I am interested on environmental behaviors, environmental communication, green parties, the state-society interactions on environmental issues, and environmental NGOs- while I am developing an interest on environmental history as well.
