I am an SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria and hold a PhD in Natural Resources and Environmental Management from the University of Manitoba (2016). My interests center on the use of biocultural resources for rural and community economic development, particularly related with food cultures and food systems. I have examined these issues in Canada and Latin America. My current project focuses on food sovereignty-related territorial struggles of Afrocolombian communities on the Pacific Coast and the relationships between efforts to realize their self-determined development objectives and biocultural heritage promotion strategies in local and extra-local markets.
