Manjana Milkoreit is a postdoctoral research fellow with the Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiative at Arizona State University’s (ASU) Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability. Her research focuses on the role of cognition in climate change politics, and more generally on the way in which cognitive processes such as imagination or scientific knowledge impact on the search for, and implementation of, solutions to climate change. She is interested in the use of scientific knowledge and moral reasoning in political processes, and in the role of ideologies in advancing or preventing effective societal responses to climate change. At ASU, Manjana has initiated the Imagination and Climate Futures Initiative. She is a core faculty member of the Center for Social Dynamics and Complexity (CSDC) and a research affiliate with the Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes (CSPO). One of her current research projects investigates people’s beliefs, learning, and imagination concerning the Anthropocene. Manjana’s dissertation analyzed whether and how cognitive processes influence the search for cooperative multilateral solutions in the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change). She has also studied the changing role of the emerging powers (China, India, Brazil, South Africa) in global climate negotiations. Manjana is a fellow of the Earth System Governance Project, and an active member of international, multidisciplinary research networks on complexity and resilience, including the Resilience Alliance Young Scholars and the Waterloo Institute for Complexity and Innovation. She holds a Master’s degree in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School and a PhD in global governance from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Her professional experiences include international organizations and the public, nonprofit, and private sector.
