Dr. Andreas Silva

Biography

Andreas Silva is a PhD student at Stockholm University, focusing on the fields of Management, Organization, and Society within the Stockholm Business School. Having a background in graphic design and creative writing, he transitioned to academic studies, earning a master's degree in social anthropology in 2019. His doctoral research explores the themes of human climate change through a postcolonial lens, particularly concerning global North/South relations and the implications of colonialism on climate change. Silva's work is rooted in the complexities of identity, being half Swedish and half Colombian, and partially raised in the Cape Verde Islands. His research inquiries investigate how these multifaceted identities influence the understanding of vulnerability and power dynamics in societal structures. The working title of his PhD project is 'Journeying Home (Human Climate Change)', which seeks to rethink the notion of what it means to be human within the context of environmental and social transformations. Through an interdisciplinary approach, he aims to intertwine art, activism, and research methodologies to uncover new ways of conceptualizing organizational dynamics. Silva positions his work within the broader discourses of posthumanism and feminist theories, highlighting the importance of engagement and collaboration in creating alternative futures.
