Past ISE Institutional Fellows

 
Dr. Jan Salick (Darrell Posey Senior Fellow, Oxford University, 2005-2007) is an ethnoecologist with extensive work and field experience in Peru, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Borneo and the eastern Himalayas on issues ranging from indigenous agriculture, forestry and resource managemen to non-timber forest products and medicinal plants. During her stay at Oxford she focused on the Tibetan Ethnoecology and Traditional Resource Rights project, working with local groups to strengthen traditional ecological knowledge and traditional resource rights, applying these to pressing conservation and sustainable development problems in the region. During this time she collaborated with a wide range of University departments and institutes in order to help build the field of ethnoecology, including: the Centre for Brazilian Studies, the Department of Plant Sciences, the Environmental Change Institute, Queen Elizabeth House, the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Green College.
