Violeta Gutiérrez-Zamora

I am an environmental sociologist and political ecologist with research interests in forests, conservation, socio-ecological conflicts, environmental justice, and governance. My work combines qualitative and ethnographic methods to explore how culturally situated practices related to forests, trees, and other plants shape dynamics of conflict, care, and coexistance.

I am currently working in the Tampere Peace Research Institute for the project EnVi(r)oCare: feminist analysis of commodity frontiers and ’living green’ . Previously, I conducted my doctoral research on community forestry in Mexico at University of Eastern Finland, and a postdoctoral research project on bamboo value chains in Laos at the Natural Resources Institute Finland/Luonnonvarakeskus (LUKE), as part of the Justice and Politics in Global Bioeconomy (Just GLOBE) project.

Country/Region of interest/research focus: Latin America, Mexico; Southeast Asia, Laos
