PLANET EARTH

Juanita Sundberg is an assistant professor in the University of British Columbia Geography Department. She brings the insights of feminist political ecology and the sensibilities of an ethnographer to bear on nature conservation, border security, and militarization. One of Juanita's current projects examines the environmental dimensions of United States’ border security policies in the United States-Mexico borderlands, with a specific focus on protected areas like national wildlife refuges.
