[Bio c. 2015]
Gustavo Valdivia is a third-year PhD student at the Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. Since 2008, he has been doing fieldwork in the highest altitude communities in the Peruvian Andes. In his dissertation, he plans to investigate the representation of the Andes mountains in climate science, and to explore ethnographically the local understandings of climate and climate change in an Andean community. In the summer of 2015, he will start a collaborative project with people from the community of Phinaya in Peru –where the largest tropical glacier in the world is located in—, and who are interested in making their own recordings to approach the complex and sonically dense environment of this retreating glacier.
