Felix Mantz, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa
Felix Mantz (he/him) is a faculty member in the department of political science at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. He completed his PhD in political science at Queen Mary University of London. His research is transdisciplinary, spanning across international political economy, environmental politics, and anti/decolonial studies. Felix works on the myriad ways in which the global political economy, planetary environmental crises, and colonial structures of power are entangled. Drawing on a range of critical theories, especially anti/decolonial, anarchist, and Indigenous thought, he is particularly interested in questions of land, autonomy, food systems, and extractivism. Felix’s teaching and research are based on a commitment to challenge unjust systems of power and, as the Zapatistas would put it, recover, (re)build, and defend a world in which many worlds fit. Most of his work has a regional focus on East Africa and Mesoamerica.
