Welcome...

...to my personal website. In it you will find information concerning my work and research interests. I would be happy to hear your comments and/or suggestions.

I was born on Corfu and studied at the Aristotle's University of Thessaloniki, Greece, at the University of East Anglia (M.Sc.) & Keele University, UK (Ph.D.).

Since 2005 I have been working at the Department of Environment, University of the Aegean, Greece. I am currently an Associate Professor of Environmental Politics and Policy and a member of the Department's Centre for Environmental Policy and Strategic Environmental Management. I also teach postgraduate courses at the International Hellenic University (IHU), greece, and at the central European University (CEU), Hungary.

My research and teaching have to do with Environmental Politics and Environmental Sociology. In particular I am interested on pro-environmental behaviours, environmental communication, political parties and the environment, state-society interactions, environmental NGOs, new social movements and social networks analysis.
