In January 2026, I had the chance to present material from my Wenner-Gren–funded research at the VI Research Symposium in the Humanities and Social Sciences (VI Jornada de Investigación en Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales) at the Universidad de Concepción, in a panel on “Resistances, territorial defense, and community mobilization.” The jornada was organized by doctoral students in History and in Territorial Studies, and brought together historians, geographers, and anthropologists working on questions of territory, environment, and political conflict in southern Chile. Beyond the presentation itself, it was a pleasure to spend time on the UdeC campus, learn more about the research projects of current graduate students, and hear about the development of the new Doctoral Program in Global South Territorial Studies, an exciting space for interdisciplinary and territorially grounded work.
