GGIS Colloquium | Maria Alejandra Garcia, Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity

\"I am a social scientist in rural sustainability studies and justice. I assess the effects of rural, agricultural, and energy development projects on rural dwellers, as well as rural dwellers’ perception of development projects.  I have worked on women’s empowerment in agricultural and rural settings, the social impacts of dams, and social dimensions affecting the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices in agriculture.  I have nine years of research experience in rural settings in various Latin American countries including Colombia, Brazil, Honduras, Nicaragua and Ecuador.\" Dr. Garcia's Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity page
