Short Bio

I am a Colombian anthropologist interested in feminist political ecology and critical geography. So far, my research has been characterised by collaborative work with the local populations involved. I finished my B.A. in Anthropology in 2012 at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. My thesis analysed how peasant-miners in Antioquia produced alternatives to protect the territory with community plans such as Peasant Reserve Zones. In 2016, I obtained an M.A. in Geography from the Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia. My thesis explored hidrosocial landscapes in the Colombian Caribbean. After 8 years of research and work experience related to extractive activities, particularly agribusiness and mining, I am now interested in problematising and analysing the implementation of mangrove conservation and restoration projects within the climate change framework. Currently, I am a PhD student at the department of Human Geography, Lund University in Sweden.
