I have been vice-president of CES scientific board, co-director of the PhD program ‘Democracy in the 21st century’ (2012-15), coordinator of the research group on Social Policies, Labor and Inequalities (2010-14).
I have served as vice-president of the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) between 2011 and 2013, and as member of the editorial board of the journal Environmental History between 2014 and 2017. I am currently an editor in the series on Environmental History – International Perspetives from Berghahn Books. I have acted as Supervisory Board member in the EU ‘Marie Curie’ ITN ‘Entitle’ – European Network of Political Ecology (2012-16), and as programme chair of the international conference Undisciplined Environments (Stockholm, March 2016).
I have published a number of single-authored peer-reviewed articles in Economic History, Environmental History, Ecological Economics, and Political Ecology as well as two research monographs, an edited collection, an environmental history textbook. My 2010 book Enclosing Water. Nature and Political Economy in a Mediterranean Valley (Cambridge, UK: White Horse Press 2010), was awarded the Turku Book Prize in 2011.
