I am a researcher and university professor. I have worked at the Simón Bolívar Andean University, at the National University of Ecuador and at the Catholic University, in Quito. I am currently a member of the Critical Geography Collective of Ecuador and co-coordinator of the Political Ecologies of the South/Abya Yala working group of CLACSO. I have a PhD in human geography from King’s College London, a Master’s degree in STS Studies from the University of Salamanca, and a bachelor’s degree in Biology from the Catholic University of Ecuador. My current research interests are bourgeois environmentalism; the political economy of the carbon market and its links to land tenure; and the criminalization of struggles, territories and bodies. Since 2017, I attend the Climate Change Summits as part of the global movement for climate justice. In my free time I study political theatre and carpentry and grow a small garden.
