Dr. Juanita Sundberg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of British Columbia. Her research brings the insights of feminist political ecology and the sensibilities of ethnography to bear on the politics of nature. Dr. Sundberg’s work seeks to foster conversations between more-than-human geographies, critical Indigenous studies, and critical theories of race and ableism in relation to climate change and extinction in settler colonial societies in the Americas. A new collaborative project with Leticia Durand, UNAM, centers on vegetal politics with a focus on how sargassum intervenes in political ecologies on the Riviera Maya.
