Situated in Political Ecology and Agrarian Studies, Shayan's Ph.D. project involves exploring the implications of solar rollout and cognate aspects in India for human and other-than-human inhabitants. Broadly, their interests lie in investigating anti-colonial energy futures that draw on scholarship from degrowth and post-development, to foster convivial futures.

Before joining CET, Shayan completed their master's at the Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM), at the University of Oslo, where they also a member of the FME INCLUDE Centre and a student at the Fridtjof Nansens Institute (FNI).

Shayan's research and areas of interest consist: 

  • Energy Transitions
  • Anticolonialism
  • Post-development and Degrowth
  • Extractivism and Alternatives
