Dr Aliki Koutlou
Senior Teaching Associate in International Political EconomyResearch Overview
My research interests lie at the intersections of feminist political economy, everyday political economy, and feminist geography. Broadly, I am interested in how social reproduction and its everyday realities, practices and relations (e.g., kinship, friendship) are shaped by gendered and capitalist structures of power at times of crisis and restructuring with a particular focus on semi-peripheral spaces. My current research explores this theme with a focus on the proliferation of utilities-based indebtedness in Southern Europe in the context of the Eurozone crisis and its aftermath.
Career Details
Before coming to Lancaster, I worked as an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow (2023-2024) and as an Lecturer in Politics at the University of Manchester.
