Isabelle Anguelovski
Isabelle Anguelovski is the director of the Barcelona Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability (BCNUEJ), a research professor at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA), and a PI and Head of the Gender, Diversity, and Wellbeing Committee at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), which belongs to the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Studies from Science Po Lille and a Master’s in International Development at the Université de Paris 1 Sorbonne, pursued a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management at Harvard University and obtained a PhD in Urban Studies and Planning from MIT before returning to Europe in 2011 with a Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship. As part of collaborative and individual international research projects, she studies how environmental injustice is materialized and contested. Currently, her focus is on four main research areas: 1) The politics of the green city as a growing global planning orthodoxy; 2) The social and racial manifestations and impacts of green gentrification for historically marginalized residents; 3) Urban planning for health and wellbeing, with a focus on health equity and justice; and 4) Justice and inclusivity in climate adaptation planning, including distributional and procedural insecurities produced by adaptation plans, interventions, and land use configurations and regulations. |
