Dr. Endre Danyi - Biography

I am currently visiting professor at the 'Biotechnologies, Nature and Society' chair, substituting Prof. Thomas Lemke at the Department of Sociology at the Goethe University. I studied sociology, media theory and political science in Budapest and London, completed my PhD at the Centre for Science Studies in Lancaster, and worked as a lecturer and postdoctoral researcher in Frankfurt am Main. Before returning to the Goethe University, I was visiting professor at the 'Sociology of Globalisation' chair at the Bundeswehr University in Munich. I am also university fellow at the Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Australia, and co-founder and co-editor of a scholar-led Open Access book publisher called Mattering Press.
