​PURABI BOSE





Forests & Indigenous Peoples



​
 CURIOUS MIND // CREATIVE SOUL 

Author. Communicator. Researcher. 
​​
My story is working with communities on forest and land tenure, food sovereignty, climate, energy, and gender. 
I ventured into this work with a background in food science, textile chemistry, human development, and anthropology followed by specialised fellowships in Training in Environment Education, and the Local-level Forest Governance. 
​Using anthropology, political ecology and ethnographic approach, I examine the complexity in local-level governance to explore meaningful solutions for rural communities, pastoralists, forest-dwellers. indigenous peoples, including focus on women and social diversity. My collaborative field work is in India, Amazonia region (Brazil, Peru), Indonesia, Nepal, Uganda, Colombia, Bolivia, and Mexico.
Close to my heart is communicating the results and making science accessible to multi-stakeholder audience. I do so by using multi-media such as photo and story books, articles, write-shops, academic lectures, edited volumes, conference talks, news articles, blogs, and documentary films in indigenous languages.   
I hold an interdisciplinary Ph.D. from Wageningen University and Masters degree from Tata Institute of Social Sciences.

Mid 2019-present: I am editing a film on Forest Guardians. I am writing an evidence-based manuscript on forest and conservation in indigenous territories based on my field work in India, Uganda, Bolivia, Brazil, and Colombia.
