Alejandra Lucia Figueredo Rodriguez

I work with research and teaching related to environmental communication and governance, conflict and dialogue over natural resource management, forest multifunctionality, agricultural practices, and food systems. I am also very interested in post-humanist and decolonial perspectives in environmental research, as well as gender and ecofeminist theories.

 (Understanding biodiversity perceptions for inclusive dialogues and communication on biodiversity, policy implementation and management) Horizon project. In it, we aim to identify best practices on communication and co-design processes related to biodiversity management, map-out societal perceptions and then bring closer networks and communities that don’t communicate much. One could say that we aim to diminish the polarization between land-use and land-conservation. With the enthusiasm and dedication shown by the participants, I think we’re on the right track. I’d also like to thank the team on all the effort put in the preparation of the proposal, and now making all these planned activities possible. Looking forward to the next four years!

I assist with the planning and teaching of several courses in the Master's Programme in Environmental Communication and Management (ECM) at SLU. 

• MX0174 - Conflict, dialogue and facilitation.
• MX0173 - Engaging critically with environmental governance practices.
• LU0091 - The Process of Research: Qualitative Methods, Data Analysis and Academic Writing.
• EX0897 - Master's thesis in Environmental Science [focus in Environmental Communication].
