Dr. Daniel Delatin Rodrigues graduated in Social Sciences (UEL/Brazil) and PhD at the Urban Studies Programme (URBEUR/Italy) of the Department of Sociology, University of Milano-Bicocca, with a research on climate change, urban planning (resilient city) and climate activism in the city of Milan. Academic and professional experience in environmental and rural sociology, spatial development, activism, fossil fuel industry, climate change, energy transition, qualitative research methodologies for conflict analysis and socio-environmental transformation processes. Teaching experience: For the past two years, Delatin has tutored a course on geopolitics and, more recently, a course on sustainability and ecological transition. Delatin has research experience in rural areas (agroecology and ecological restoration) and urban areas (climate change mitigation and adaptation and climate-activism). In recent years, he has researched the field of energy production from a broad socio-anthropological and political perspective, which can be summarised in five lines 1) infrastructures for energy production and distribution from a socio-technical perspective; 2) the different types of energy production and their socio-economic differentiation; 3) the socio-environmental impact of these infrastructures on the local spatial fabric; 4) projects and processes of energy transition through photovoltaic panels and wind turbines; and finally 5) the conditions and factors that favour or hinder the transition to other forms of non-fossil energy production. The various papers converge in a multidisciplinary approach that combines the theoretical traditions of sociology, anthropology, geography and political science.
