Anthropology

PhD defence ceremony

Raquel Méndez Villamizar studies gender relations and the capabilities of women in contexts of gold and oil extraction. The research is based on two locations in Colombia, a gold mining area and an area with oil fields. Villamizar focuses on the socio-cultural framing of femininity and masculinity by looking at three domains: love and affective relationships, parenthood, and wage labour.
