  1. General areas of research:
    Process Philosophy (A.N. Whitehead); Environmental and Social Philosophy; Feminist Philosophy; Political Ecology; Decolonial Ecology
  2. Current research:
    - Human-Nature Relationships and their values, diverse value and valuation of ecosystem services. My work focuses on the concept of "relational values" and explores plural, non-Western languages of expressing values and of valuation beyond the dichotomy between intrinsic and instrumental value; relationships between ecosystems and society
    - Sustainability Theory and Degrowth: my current research focuses on crisis scenarios beyond economic growth and the role of new social movements for a radical social-ecological transformation; sustainability and justice; relational turn in sustainability
    - Global Environmental Justice, Political and Decolonial Ecology: focus on a critique of the coloniality of 'nature', epistemic/ontological encounters across diverse knowledge systems and worlds, environmental justice from a global perspective
