I recently submitted my PhD Thesis for examination after more than three years and a half working on this project. My thesis title is: ‘Towards de(s)colonial research in the global rural: A feminist feeling-thinking study with rural women in Colombia’.

I am forever grateful to the campesina women and their families who opened their hearts and homes to me during my time of fieldwork in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and in Toca in Colombia.

Agradecimientos: Esta tesis esta dedicada a la mujeres campesinas de Colombia, que con su berraquera, siembran vida todos los días. ¡Para seguir sentipensando nuevos mundos para la vida digna! Especialmente, quisiera agradecer a todas las mujeres que hicieron parte de este proyecto por su hospitalidad y amistad.

Mery perdió su esposo en el conflicto armado. Lo mataron en frente de su hija de tan solo 13 años de edad. A punta de machete y jornal sacó a sus seis hijos adelante. Por ella, y todas las víctimas, yo creo en la paz. #sialapaz

I took this photo on my fieldwork in Colombia, her name is Mery and she lost her husband during the armed conflict. He was shot in front of her thirteen year old daughter for no reason. She had to raise her six kids by herself, overcoming fear, anxiety and many other tough things that happen in the countryside in Colombia. For Mery and the victims I believe in the peace agreement in Colombia.
