dr. K.M. van Teijlingen (Karolien)

I am a human geographer with a MSc. in International Development Studies (2013) and a PhD in social sciences (2019).

My research addresses the transformations and conflicts engendered by the extractive industries, and the related discussions about development and its alternatives. Theoretically inspired by political ecology and critical geography, I particularly focus on the multi-scalar power relations that such transformations involve and the role of (participatory) cartography. My regional focus is on Latin America, the Amazon region in particular.

I am also a member of the Colectivo de Geografía Crítica del Ecuador.
