Corinna Dengler works as an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) at the Institute for Spatial and Social-Ecological Transformations (ISSET). She is a Principal Investigator in the EU-funded consortium project “Models, Assessment, and Policies for Sustainability” (MAPS), serves as a co-editor of the scientific journal Environmental Values, and leads the research unit "Social-Ecological Provisioning" at ISSET. Her research focuses on heterodox economics and in particular at the intersection feminist economics, ecological economics, and global political economy. After studying Economics (BSc), Development Studies (BA), and Socio-Ecological Economics and Policy (MSc) in Vienna, Moscow, and Quito, she graduated summa cum laude with a cumulative PhD on "Feminist Futures: What Degrowth Learns from the Feminist Critiques of Science, Economic, and Growth" from the University of Vechta in 2020. In her habilitation on "Feminist Ecological Economics," her research focuses on care work, commons, intersectional justice, and socio-ecological transformations, decidedly linking local and global perspectives. She understands her teaching and research activities as closely intertwined with societal transformation processes and is committed to promoting a good life for all within planetary boundaries in various contexts.
