New PhD student Verena van Zyl-Bulitta joins Chair

Master of Commerce graduate (Stellenbosch) Verena van Zyl-Bulitta continues her PhD studies, which she started at the University of Leipzig, now at the Chair of Sustainability and Transformation Research. Her research focuses on social-ecological and socio-technical aspects of energy transitions across the Global North-South divide. She investigates how allocation of responsibilities for flexibilization, commons governance mechanisms and the role of the co-prosumer could be framed from a commoning perspective. In her research she uses energy and flexibility justice concepts as well as political economic approaches.
