Biography
Achieving climate justice, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development requires confronting the inequalities in land distribution and recognizing the contribution that diverse land tenure systems make to human well-being and the environment. Fernando Galeana Rodriguez’s research aims at understanding the conditions for making land and territorial rights more inclusive.
Fernando has conducted ethnographic fieldwork with rural and Indigenous communities in Honduras and Mexico. By examining the political economy of property rights, the struggles for self-determination, and agrarian transformations, his research seeks to contribute to academic and policy dialogue on territorial rights and integrative conservation.
He holds a Ph.D. in Development Sociology from Cornell University, an MA in International Relations from the School of Advanced International Studies-Johns Hopkins University, and a BA in Economics from Stanford University.
