Beatriz Rodriguez-Labajos
Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellow (Visiting researcher)
Energy and Resources Group /Institut of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Research areas: Ecological Economics, Water Justice, Water conflicts, Environmental activism, and Social movements
Sample Projects: CLAMOR (environmental Conflicts through the Lens of Artwork and Multimedia in waterscape transformations, 797444-CLAMOR- H2020-MSCA-IF-2017) analyses forms of creative activism in four case-studies of US and Colombia. The project also compiles similar data about transformative or restorative initiatives under violent conditions in water-related conflicts.
