Václav Mašek Sánchez

I’m a Ph.D. Candidate at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB). My research is supported by the ERC-funded Project REAL, which advances scientific research to realise post-growth transformations.

I’m a Guatemalan Latin Americanist (NYU, 2019) and Sociologist (USC, 2023). Here’s my CV, my contact info, and more about me. Through the subfields of political ecology and the sociology of development, I study grassroots socio-environmental movements in post-conflict contexts using ethnographic methods and archives. Read my academic publications, public writings, and other research.

I’m interested in creating conditions that allow for transformational changes by proposing just and equitable pathways to reduce material and energy use, and bringing societies within planetary boundaries. Follow me on Twitter and LinkedIn.
