About Sharlene: Sharlene Mollett (PhD. Department of Geography, University of Toronto, 2006). Mollett is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Dartmouth College. She is a cultural geographer and political ecologist, working on the intersection of issues of race, gender, and land/property rights -- primarily in the area of Central America (Honduras and Panama) where her ethnographic field research has been focused. She describes her research as exploring "the historical, structural, and socio-environmental conditions in which indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples live" and, in particular, "how race, gender, and property rights are simultaneously constituted -- yet overlooked -- in development policy and practice". While working at a teaching intensive university, Mollett has been active on the publishing front -- especially recently - with seven articles having come out in the last three years (with two additional ones under review) in such leading journals in her field as Annals of the Association of American Geographers (forthcoming), Latin American Perspectives (forthcoming), Geoforum (2012), Cultural Geographies (2011), Environment and Planning D (2011), and Gender, Place, and Culture (2010). Mollett is a Canadian. | |||||||
