Riverways and rural resistance: The case of Colombia's Movimiento Ríos Vivos social movement
Carolina Osorio Gil is a PhD candidate in Development Sociology at Cornell University’s Department of Global Development where she studies epistemic and ontological strategies of resistance by rural communities (campesina/os) to large-scale development in Latin America. Carolina will present on her dissertation research project, a participatory and ethnographic study in partnership with the Movimiento Ríos Vivos (Living Rivers Movement), a campesina/o movement that is in resistance to Hidroituango, the largest hydroelectric project in Colombia. Approaching this case as one of epistemic injustice, Carolina utilizes a set of liberatory praxes, including a Story-Based Theater methodology that she developed, to actively contribute towards epistemic justice in her research.
