Panagiota is a postdoctoral researcher at BCNUEJ and a member of the Undisciplined Environments editorial collective. Her work has focused on the politics of water and health in relation to urban/rural development and environmental change. Looking at the sociocultural determinants of health, her research speaks to the indispensability of interdisciplinary thinking in order to overcome the caveats of narrowly defined health indicators. As a political ecologist she is interested in how the notions of nature and risk are socially constructed, what meanings and values they carry, and what type of political processes are mobilized around them.
