"The promises and pitfalls of bio-gas projects for climate mitigation and sustainable development: A feminist political ecology analysis of the Clean Development Mechanism in Nepal"
Shangrila Joshi Wynn is a Member of the Faculty at The Evergreen State College. Her research and teaching interests are at the intersections of environmental justice, political ecology, and critical development studies. She draws from a range of critical perspectives (postcolonial, critical race, feminist, Marxist) in her research and teaching. Her dissertation "Justice, Development, and India's Claim to Environmental Space: A Postcolonial Political Ecology of the Atmospheric Commons" examined North-South climate politics leading up to the Copenhagen climate negotiations with a focus on India's negotiating position. Her current research interests are focused on critically examining the Clean Development Mechanism and the REDD+ as they are being implemented in Nepal, with an eye towards understanding how they are transforming social relations in the local context, particularly as they relate to the forest commons.
