Julie de los Reyes is an economic geographer and political ecologist whose research centres on the role of finance in socio-environmental processes. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies and the Hakubi Center for Advanced Research at Kyoto University, Japan.
Julie’s work examines the financial motives and practices that shape resource extraction, particularly in the mining and energy sectors. Her current research is concerned with understanding and mobilising ‘transition finance’ in ways that promote socio-ecologically just energy systems.
