Anna Brietzke is a research scientist at ISOE since 2022. She studied Latin American and Ancient American Studies and English Studies (B.A.) in Bonn and Cultural and Social Anthropology (M.A.) in Marburg. Within her focus areas Environmental Anthropology and Anthropology of Conflict, she is particularly interested in both human-environment relations as well as environmental and resource conflicts. In her master’s thesis, Anna Brietzke investigated the role of land (rights) for an indigenous community in Ecuador and to what extent their struggle for land can be characterized as a decolonial practice. In her doctoral project, which she began in 2022, she examines different ideas about the ‘forest of the future’ and investigates how these futures are being shaped in various ways.

    Conflicts over the forest of the future

    Forest conversion to mixed forest is intended to ensure the sustainability of forests threatened by climate change. Conflicts over their use are dealt with and negotiated in the “Forest of the Future” project through dialog formats such as round tables.
