At the undergraduate level I teach international relations, international political economy, and green political economy with a focus on justice. I have also taught capstones on global labor politics. At the graduate level I teach Politics of the Environment and Sustainability, Governance of the World Political Economy, International Environmental Politics as well as special seminars on transnational social policy and green political economy.

Dimitris' research examines the social governance of the world political economy in the areas of labor and the environment, with particular attention to power and justice. He has recently coedited (with Edouard Morena and Dunja Krause) Just Transitions: Social Justice in the Shift towards a Low Carbon World (Pluto Press 2020) and (with Nora Räthzel and David Uzzell) the Handbook of Environmental Labor Studies (Palgrave Springer, 2021) and is completing a book on the global history and politics of just transitions. He continues to pursue research on just transitions, environmental labor studies, planetary justice, systems of sustainable production and consumption, and ‘hidden figures’ in global environmental politics. He has recently published in Environmental Politics, Political Geography, Globalizations, Earth System Governance Journal, and Resources, Conservation & Recycling.
