My name is Juan Manuel Velez. I’m 39 years old and a responsible, thoughtful, clean, driven, health-conscious and trustworthy person. I’m originally from Colombia, but relocated to San Francisco, California for 17 years. I’m living in Toronto now, working on a MA in Geography at the University of Toronto.
My academic work has focused on the interdisciplinary study of agrobiodiversity, territoriality, land use policies, rural livelihoods, and climate change adaptation. My current research looks into how rural livelihoods and territories are affected by different processes of capital accumulation that result in displacement and dispossession. I'm interested in social justice, environmental politics, climate change adaptation, feminism, agroecology, permaculture, "making kin" with life, yoga, plants, gardens, and much more.
