Renata Marson Teixeira de Andrade-Downs lectures environmental history of Latin America and the Caribbean at the Energy and Resources Group, and California Water Seminar at the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design Department at UC Berkeley and is currently preparing a manuscript on the subject of culture, science, nature and power in Northeast Brazil since colonial times. Her work situates environmental and social changes in landscapes at the intersection of energy, fisheries/aquaculture and water politics, and the cultural and environmental aspects of traditional coomunities, such as small-scale peasant-fishers, and draws on theories from the disciplines of environmental history, history of science, cultural and environmental anthropology, discourse analysis and science and technology studies.
