Luigi Pellizzoni

Luigi Pellizzoni is full professor in Sociology of the environment and territory at the University of Pisa. His interests are located at the intersection of three main themes: a) ecological crisis, environmental governance and sustainability; b) the governance of science, technology and innovation; c) social conflicts, participation and deliberation. These issues are explored both empirically and in their implications for social and political theory. Emergent environmental and techno-scientific politics based on reframed ontologies and new forms of anticipatory governance are the focus of recent and ongoing research.
He is active at international level as member and session organizer at general and thematic conferences and workshops, including ISA (International Sociological Association), ESA (European Sociological Association), EASST (European Association for the Study of Science and Technology) 4S (Society for the Social Study of Science), ECPR (European Consortium for Political Research), STS-Italia (Italian association for science and technology studies), AIS (Italian Sociological Association), SISEC (Italian Society for Economic Sociology), SASE (Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics), Research & Degrowth, Historical Materialism. In 1996, together with G. Osti, he has launched the National Conferences on Environment and Society, and has been member of the organizing committee of all subsequent editions.
In 2017 he has launched the interdisciplinary research group and community of discussion “POE-Politics Ontologies Ecologies” (www.poeweb.eu), of which he is the co-ordinator and which organizes an annual workshop gathering scholars from a variety of disciplines (sociology, political science and theory, anthropology, geography, philosophy, economics, history, STS, feminist studies etc.) on key and emergent topics such as the re-emergence of limits, value and things, ontologies of care and new extractivisms. POE organizes as well symposia with prominent scholars and an international summer school, which he also co-ordinates.
