The Latin American Socionatures Working Group is an interdisciplinary community focused on exploring the histories, dynamics, and conflicts surrounding the co-constitution of nature-society relations across the region and its fluid boundaries.
The group is composed principally of doctoral students who share an interest in scholarly work on nature, politics, and society and welcomes a wide array of methodological approaches from the humanities and social sciences.
The space promotes knowledge exchanges, and mutual learning through an annual public seminar and our monthly workshops where we discuss original manuscripts from group members and other guests from campus and elsewhere in the Bay Area, the US, and LAC.
The topics include, but are not limited to, the politics of nature in cities and rural areas, environmental justice struggles, the social and political dimensions of biological science, new materialisms, multispecies approaches, the climate crisis, among others.
We regularly invite esteemed professors from various institutions to conduct workshops, deliver talks, or simply share their ideas, all with the invaluable support of our partners
