Research
For her PhD research, Ana explores the emergence of grassroots collective action in the face of socio-environmental threats. In a global context of interrelated social and environmental crises, her research seeks to understand how people come together to create and sustain transformative alternatives. Moreover, she explores the internal tensions and contradictions experienced in these processes, the role of geography, and the different voices within stories of resistance.
