About

Overview

Yousaf Nishat-Botero is a PhD Fellow at Bayes Business School, City, University of London, and he holds an MA in Philosophy & Contemporary Critical Theory from the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Kingston University. Yousaf's research interests are at the intersections of critical theory, organization studies, and political ecology. These interests guide his research into economic planning, degrowth/post-growth organizing, and urban/rural futures. During Yousaf's time at City, he has also been involved in teaching courses on organisational behaviour (seminar leader), critical thinking (tutorial session leader), classical social theory (seminar leader), and the international political economy of climate change (module leader). Yousaf is also a member of the editorial collective at ephemera, which is an independent and open access journal on theory and politics in organisation.
