My research focuses on environmental governance and statecraft in Panama.
A key node in global trade and finance, Panama's role in mitigating climate change is increasingly recognised today. Building on the claim to be one of the few carbon-negative countries worldwide, Panama has in recent years positioned itself as a model of green development and climate leadership.
My work blends political economy, institutional anthropology, and political ecology to chart the trajectories of carbon as a contested object in this process; in doing so, I seek to trace how nature, market, and state are transformed.
In addition to pursuing research in the social sciences, I have a background in fine arts, translation work, and grassroots organising. I am a member of the Budapest-based group for public sociology 'Helyzet' and of the Hungarian Studio of Young Artists. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and cinema.
