I teach the undergraduate courses of Environmnetal Law, Environmental Sociology, Environmental Politics & Environmental History at the Department of Environment. I also teach environmental politics and policy course at the Department’s postgraduate courses as well as at the M.Sc in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management, MESPOM (Central European University (CEU), Hungary).
I have supervised tenths of undergraduate and postgraduate theses, and a couple of them have led to scientific publications (see below). I am interested in suprvising research on topics pertaining to Environmental Politics, Policy, Sociology and History. If you wish to undertake such a research I would be glad to discuss your idea with you.
