Meet the Researcher is a new events series for students of International Relations, giving you access to informal conversations with our LSE IR department researchers, including visiting academics.
Learn from their lived experiences, and how their education, background and culture influenced their decisions to pursue, and their experiences in, particular organisations. Get tips on what they learned from these experiences, and what they recommend. Listen, ask questions and enhance your understanding of life after study!
Dr Maria Gloria Polimeno
Tuesday 25 March 2025
10.00-11.00am
Room CKK.1.18
In this session you will join Maria Gloria Polimeno as she talks about her intradisciplinary research which sits at the intersection of transformative authoritarianism and elite dynamics through the prism of environmental politics.
She will touch upon international assistance to development as part of the SDGs framework and the intersection with nature as a "locus of political power" with particular reference to Egypt under al-Sisi. Additionally, she'll talk about her career trajectory and the academic industry, as well as answer any questions.
Maria Gloria is currently an LSE Visiting Fellow in the Department of International Relations at LSE.
