Amaranta Herrero from Barcelona University, Spain, will be visiting from June to September 2010. Her aim is to spend some time with CSEC and get to know about the research projects we are involved in. She is interested in particular in how social and natural aspects of reality are closely and mutually interweaved. During her visit Amaranta will be writing articles for her PhD which is an empirical case study of illegal opencast coal mining subsidised by the Spanish government and located in a highly protected area underEuropean law. She aims to examine understand the structural elements of the conflict, and the power relations involved, as well as the way the conflict has been shaped and contested through environmental discourses, social imaginaries and identities.
