Suzana Sawyer
Suzana Sawyer is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Davis. Her research examines struggles over resources in Ecuadorian Amazon, focusing specifically on conflicts over land and petroleum development among indigenous peoples, the state and multinational oil companies. She is the author of Crude Chronicles: Indigenous Politics, Multinational Oil and Neoliberalism in Ecuador (2004). Her current research project analyzes a lawsuit against Chevron for industrial negligence and environmental contamination in Ecuador from three different angles--critical legal studies and corporate law, science studies and epidemiology, and studies of networks and transnational social movements. Suzana is external joint co-ordinator for the project “Identity, Power and Rights: the State, International Institutions and Indigenous Peoples”.
