Margot Cohen

I study critical participatory methods and knowledge practices, racial environmental geographies, and social movement pedagogies. My dissertation project engages Participatory Action Research (PAR) as both a subject and methodology to examine the coalitional politics of relational organizing networks based in Amherst, MA, and Tarqui, Ecuador. I am a co-founder of the Participatory, Land-Based, and Critical Environments (PLACE) Collective, and a participating member of the Climate Futures Lab, the Disabled Ecologies Lab, and the Latin American SocioNatures Working Group.
