I am a critical feminist ethnographer with an interest in the political landscapes of technoscientific practices in Colombia. I like to think about materiality, affects, senses, expertise, flowers, agrarian practices,bodies, violence, relations, and co-laboration. My work brings together cultural and medical anthropology, science and technology studies, Latin American studies, the anthropology of war and violence, environmental anthropology, the anthropology of death, and reflections on the narrative capacities of ethnographic craft of writing.
