The IEK-CHANGES team recently joined a lab meeting at LASEG (Laboratory for the Analysis of Social-Ecological Systems in a Global World), our broader research group at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, to share updates and reflections from a full year of fieldwork in the Bolivian Amazon.
During the session, team members reflected on their experiences working with Tsimane’ communities, shared insights from the field, and discussed some of the challenges, lessons, and memorable moments that have shaped this intensive year of research.
For the team, the meeting was also an opportunity to pause, look back, and collectively reflect on a remarkable journey. After a year of intense fieldwork, having the opportunity to share these experiences with colleagues and reconnect with the wider research community was both meaningful and rewarding.
We are deeply grateful to our LASEG colleagues for their warm welcome, attentive listening, and generous support. These conversations are an important part of our research journey, helping us make sense of our experiences and prepare for the next phase of IEK-CHANGES: analysing our data and sharing the knowledge gathered throughout the project.
