Academic Profile

Vlad Mykhnenko is a human geographer, specialising in geographical political economy – a transdisciplinary study of spatialities, landscapes, and contested futures of modern capitalism, its varieties, development trajectories, and alternatives. Empirically, over the past twenty years, Mykhnenko’s research interests have expanded from the middle-income post-communist urban and regional economies of eastern Europe (esp., Polish Upper Silesia and the Ukrainian Donbas) to encompass the local development phenomena observed in high-income western Europe, and far beyond. Since 2003, he has produced well over 100 research outputs, containing books; articles in top peer-reviewed journals, including Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society; Cities; Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space; Environment and Planning C: Politics and Space; European Urban and Regional Studies; Europe-Asia Studies; The Geographical Journal; East European Politics; Journal of Economic Geography; Journal of Geography in Higher Education; Journal of Urban Affairs; Oxford Review of Economic Policy; Regional Studies, and Urban Research & Practice; other documents; and digital artefacts. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Eurasian Geography and Economics and Chinese Geographical Science.

Mykhnenko’s research has so far generated well over £7 million in external research funding, with £1.7 million as a Principal Investigator. At Oxford, Mykhnenko has served as the Consortium Lead and Principal Investigator of the Smart Shrinkage Solutions (3S RECIPE) research programme (€1.7m, 2017-2020) funded by the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe and the UKRI Economic and Social Research Council. During this period, he also served as Co-Investigator on the UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded PaCCS Innovation Awards on Conflict and International Development grant, successfully exposing Ukraine’s Hidden Tragedy of forced population displacement from the country’s war-torn regions (£79k, 2016-2018). Most recently, Mykhnenko has led an industry-funded research project on What Makes Cities Tick, 2030? (£15k, 2021).

Mykhnenko holds a PhD in Political Economy from Darwin College, the University of Cambridge (2005); an MA in International Relations and European Studies from the Central European University (CEU, 1999); and an MA (1998) and a BA (1996) in International Relations from Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv. He joined the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE or ContEd) in January 2017 to take up the Associate Professorship in Sustainable Urban Development, alongside the Research Fellowship in Sustainable Urban Development at St. Peter’s College, Oxford. From February 2018 until September 2021, he served as Continuing Education Director of Graduate Studies for Postgraduate Research Students (DGS Research). 

Prior to that, Mykhnenko was Lecturer in Human Geography, Urban Adaptation and Resilience at the University of Birmingham (2008-2012); Visiting Professor at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty (Autumn 2014); and had held a series of successive Research Fellowships at the University of Nottingham (2008-2011), the University of Glasgow (2005-2008), and the CEU Centre for Policy Studies in Budapest (2003-2004). 

Mykhnenko regularly acts in an advisory capacity for the public, private, and civil society sectors, municipal and regional governments, intergovernmental organisations, and multinational companies. He currently serves as a non-executive director of Oxford International Study Abroad Programme Ltd., an EQAC-accredited short course provider. In 2015, Mykhnenko was appointed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development to a high-level expert group of 200 urbanists worldwide to provide UN-Habitat with independent policy recommendations on key issues related to sustainable urban development. Consequently, Mykhnenko’s Policy Unit No 9. Urban Services and Technology contribution has formed an integral part of the New Urban Agenda. This action-oriented document, which was officially adopted on 23 December 2016 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, rethinks the way we build, manage, and live in cities, setting global standards of achievement in sustainable urban development.

Aspects of Mykhnenko’s research and analysis have been discussed and featured on the Arirang TV (KOR, here and here), BBC News (GBR, here), BBC News TV (here), BBC World Service TV (here), BBC Radio 4 / BBC World Service Radio (here), BBC Radio 5 Live (here) BBC World Service News (here), Chinese Social Sciences Net (CHN, here), CNN Indonesia (here), The Daily Telegraph (GBR), Expresso (PRT, here), The Financial Times (here), Forbes (USA), The Irish Independent (here), The Irish Voice (IRE), LNK Žinios TV (LTU, here), Ma Clinique (FRA, here),  News Medical (here), Newsweek (USA, here, here, here, here and here),  Planning, Planning Resource, Quotidiano Nazionale (ITA, here), Social Sciences in China Press (here), Svenska Dagbladet (SWE, here), TV 2 ( NOR, here and here), Vox (USA, here), Zing News (VNM, here), as well as local media outlets in various countries across the globe. For Mykhnenko’s media presence at Oxford, see his Find an Expert page.

Vlad Mykhnenko is originally from Donetsk, Ukraine.

Research

The great bulk of Mykhnenko’s academic research is devoted to geographical political economy – a transdisciplinary study of diverse spatialities, variegated landscapes, and contested futures of modern capitalism, its varieties, development trajectories and alternatives. Geographical political economy is founded on the assumption that economic, political, cultural, and environmental processes are necessarily related – co-evolving spatially, and co-implicated territorially with each other. Over the past twenty years, Mykhnenko’s empirical research interests have expanded from the post-communist East to encompass the problematic of urban and regional development observed in the West, and beyond. His current research is primarily focussed on the application of theoretical, conceptual, and methodological dimensions of geographical political economy to the real-world challenges of urban and regional growth and decline, development and de-development, shrinkage, and resilience in the context of chronic stress (e.g., de-industrialisation and low birth rates) and sudden shock events (e.g., natural disasters and wars).

Citations

As of 1 March 2023, according to Google Scholar, Mykhnenko had 3,570 citations with an h-index score of 24. According to Scopus, his journal articles and books had been cited 1,402 times by other Scopus-listed journal articles, with an h-index score of 13. According to the Web of Science Core Collection metrics, which refers only to citations of his Web of Science Core Collection-listed publications in other core-collection-WoS-listed journal articles, Mykhnenko had been cited 1,096 times overall, with an h-index score of 12. 

Based on the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics) data, containing over 21K+ peer-reviewed scholarly journals and 134K+ books published worldwide in 254 subject categories across the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities, Mykhnenko’s publications are currently ranked amongst the top 0.2% research outputs in urban studies, most cited globally during the last twenty years (1394th out of 905,269 publications on the topic of ‘cities’ or ‘urban’, in total); and amongst the top 0.4% most cited on post-communist eastern Europe (342nd out of 89,150 publications on the topic of ‘post-communist’ or ‘post-Soviet’ or ‘east* Europe*’). During the period 2003-2023, his research outputs were also ranked amongst the top 1.2% most cited publications in geography, as a whole, (969th out of 78,790 in total). Overall, Mykhnenko’s career-long citation percentile median currently stands at 88th percentile.

The total value of research funding associated with his research currently stands at £6,015,194 (= £7,700,469, adjusted for inflation), with £1,482,004 (= £1,664,982 in today’s prices) as a Principal Investigator.

Teaching

Over the past twenty years, Mykhnenko has taught and supervised undergraduate, graduate, and MBA students at ten different higher education institutions across the UK, Europe, and Central Asia, including the Universities of Cambridge, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham, Taras Shevchenko University of Kyiv, National University of Donetsk, Kyiv Mohyla Business School, Kyiv Mohyla Academy, Ukraine Human Development University, and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University at Almaty. His commitment to research-led and research-orientated teaching was recognised in 2014, when Mykhnenko achieved the status of Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and in 2015, when he was awarded a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (Merit) by the University of Birmingham. The outcome of his award-winning 4-year pedagogical experimentation with technology-enhanced learning tools and techniques was consequently published as a peer-reviewed academic paper in The Journal of Geography in Higher Education (see here).

At Oxford, Mykhnenko makes a full contribution to the Department’s flagship MSc in Sustainable Urban Development (MSUD) Course, regularly contributing to its teaching weeks (modules) and co-leading Teaching Week M1 Introducing Sustainable Urban Development, and M6 Urbanism, Community and City-Building. Mykhnenko serves as a course admissions officer, a personal tutor to MSUD students, and regularly assesses their course assignments. In addition, since 2017, he has supervised 21 MSUD dissertation students.
