Anel Lopez De Romaña Pancorvo

PhD Student

  • aml222@exeter.ac.uk

Anel is an anthropologist doing a PhD at the University of Exeter in collaboration with the Centre for Rural Policy Research and the European Centre for the Environment and Human Health. Her PhD project, titled “Extractivism and Indigenous Foodways in Peruvian Amazonia”, investigates the changing foodways of Indigenous Amazonian communities in an area where extractivist multinational companies impact all aspects of daily life. The research focuses on the case of Proyecto Gas Camisea, the largest gas megafield in Latin America, and its influence on the foodways of the Matsigenka communities in Bajo Urubamba, Cusco, where Anel will conduct long-term ethnographic fieldwork. This project is supervised by Professor Harry G. West and Professor Cornelia Guell with funding from the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

Anel holds a BA in Social Sciences from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and an MPhil in Social Anthropological Research from the University of Cambridge. She has research experience with Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Andes and Amazonia, focusing on topics such as subsistence agriculture, gender inequalities, land access, and human-environment relations. She has worked with research centres and NGOs in Peru, including the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos and Asociación Servicios Educativos Rurales, and collaborates with Taller Etnológico de Cultura Política, a research group at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
