Melisa Deciancio participated in the panel “Inequalities in Bodies, Land and the Biosphere” at the British International Studies Association Conference, addressing core-periphery dynamics on bioeconomy projects in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and, in a broader sense, the impacts of bioeconomy on creating new forms of dependency for South American countries. The other panellists included Nicola Smith (University of Birmingham), Amelia Morris (University of Law); and Sulagna Basu (University of Sydney).
The papers were commented on by Ben Richardson from University of Warwick.
