Alexandra Köves is an ecological economist, professor at the Corvinus University of Budapest, and head of the Ecological Economics Research Centre at the Corvinus Institute for Advanced studies. She is also president of the European Society of Ecological Economics. She teaches subjects related to decision sciences, ecological economics, and degrowth. Her research focuses partly on decisions influencing sustainability transitions, and partly on sustainability scenarios using participatory research techniques. In the first decade of her career, she worked with development programs in the fields of employment policy, social integration, vocational training, adult and higher education. After realizing that what we call development is neither sustainable nor socially just in 2011 she turned towards re-examining the theoretical foundations of development in academia. She joined Corvinus as a faculty member in 2014. Since then, she has become an advocate of ecological economics in general, and degrowth in particular, trying to introduce this research field to both students and a wider audience, running two podcast series. The Hungarian language podcast is called “Green Equality” and has over 180 episodes. She is also host to the English-language podcast of the European Society of Ecological Economics called Economics for Rebels.
