In a time of anthropogenic existential crises, writes Ioannis Rigkos-Zitthen, this new stage in the Science of Democracy conversation highlights how plural thinking can help rejuvenate democracy
Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of Food and Resource Economics, Section for Production, Markets and Policy, University of Copenhagen
Ioannis is a a political geographer by training.
He has a PhD in political science from the University of Copenhagen, and a PhD in human geography from Macquarie University, Australia.
His work focuses on the relationship between commoning, care in the anthropocene, and democracy.
The major question that drives his academic research is: how can we sustain and enrich democracy in the anthropocene?
Ioannis focuses on commoning practices as a potential response to this question by suggesting that the new geological epoch requires new political institutions inspired by local communities' values, priorities, and practices of collective care.
