Profile:
As an environmental anthropologist, my research focuses on examining the ways rural populations and their environment co-evolve with shifts in the larger society. For the past 18 years, I have carried out longitudinal ethnography and cross-sectional survey research among Amazonian Caboclo and Colonist populations with particular attention to historical analysis of land use change, people-forest interaction, and ethnobotany. My work has examined the role of historical, economic, institutional, and demographic processes shaping people-environment interaction with a concern towards comparative analysis linking local, regional, and global processes. Currently, I have been working on ethnographic and historical analysis of commodity chains for forest products, the dynamics of formation and transformation of rural communities in colonization areas, rural-urban household social networks, small farmers adaptation to climate change, and comparative, multi-scale analysis of historical trajectories of land use change in the Amazon. My research is also concerned with developing integrative methodologies combining ethnographic and survey instruments, archival and historical research, field inventories and ecological measurements, and the application of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) to questions of anthropological interest.
