Valerio Donfrancesco, PhD

My research looks at how social and ecological struggles are connected, and how to build alternative futures for the mutual flourishing of humans and other species. I work at the intersection of environmental geography, the environmental humanities, and ecology. I have a PhD in Geography from the University of Cambridge, and have taught at the University of Aberdeen on these topics in 2025. My research has won competitive funding and has been published in international peer-reviewed journals including Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Progress in Environmental Geography, Environment and Planning E, and Conservation Biology.
