Davidov, Veronica

Veronica Davidov is assistant professor of anthropology at Leiden University College, a cultural anthropologist studying social, political, and cultural processes involved in hu-man-nature relationships. She is especially interested in studying how natural resources are constructed and contested, and the impact of commodifying nature on indigenous groups. Her primary research sites are Ecuador and Northern Russia, although the comparative as-pect of her research takes her to other places as well. She grew up in the former Soviet Un-ion, studied and lived in the United States for many years, and has been living and working in the Netherlands since 2008.
