Giorgos Kallis

Giorgos Kallis was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He has lived and studied in London, Luxemburg, Amsterdam, and Berkeley. Now he is an ICREA Professor at ICTA at the Autonomous University of Barcelona where he coordinates the Marie Curie-funded European Network of Political Ecology (ENTITLE). He teaches political ecology and ecological economics. His fixation is with what Serge Latouche calls the “degrowth project,” that is the hypothesis that we can build a society which can prosper without growth. When he doesn't waste time fighting on twitter with those who defend economic growth, he plays and watches football, jogs by the bay of Barcelona, tries to compose tunes on his piano or spends his summertime in Syros. He is not as boring as it sounds..
