Prof. Dr. Ulrich Demmer is a Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich's Faculty for the Study of Culture. His research examines socio-ecological movements, degrowth transitions, and ethical dimensions of sustainability across global contexts. Demmer conducts engaged anthropological research with indigenous communities in South India and European sustainability initiatives.
His scholarly work integrates anthropological theory with climate justice activism, focusing on ethical frameworks of 'good life' concepts, performative research methodologies, and pluriverse perspectives. Key areas include degrowth theory, activist anthropology, and postcolonial modernity negotiations.
Publications demonstrate commitment to ethical-political dimensions of sustainability transitions, particularly through comparative indigenous studies, ritual analysis, and critiques of neoliberal knowledge production. Recent outputs advocate for transformative research paradigms linking academic practice with social change.
Demmer actively contributes to degrowth movements through summer schools, climate camps, and co-founding initiatives like OS4Future. His teaching emphasizes activist research methods and socio-ecological transformation across global North-South contexts.
