Yoshihiro Nakano
The areas of specialisation are social theory, philosophy, and critical development studies. Dr. Nakano’s research consists of two parts: (1) political economy and biopolitics of global development and (2) transition design, with a particular focus on degrowth, postdevelopment, and epistemologies of the south. His recent research seeks to reconceptualise degrowth through the lens of process-relational philosophy & anthropology. For details, see the weboffice: https://postcapitalism.jp/index/english/
