About me

I am a social anthropologist who specializes in spatial, statistical, and ethnographic research. My academic topics generally include nature, wildlife, and economic development. My work approach recovers, above all, dynamic interdependences between physical, social and symbolic spaces, as well as the possibilities of new research techniques. In what follows, I summarize some details about my education, publications, and skills….
