Alexandra is a student of the master’s program on interdisciplinary studies on sustainability. She has a particular interest in centering the voices and lived experiences of women within biocultural research. She previously completed a BA in History and Philosophy, during which she developed a keen interest in the relationships between local cultural heritage and ecological practices. This led her to work as a facilitator for environmental education workshops in Andalucia (Spain), and later to conduct ecological surveys on protected species across the United Kingdom. Her thesis research, in collaboration with the Tsimane’ people and the IEK-CHANGES project, focuses on the interactive relationships between knowledge transmission, gender, and ecology. She examines what socio-environmental changes influence the creation of traditional Saraij’ bags made by women, and how these changes may shape the knowledge and practices of the Tsimane’.
