DESCRIPTION:*'Epistemologies of Land' Webcast Series – Eduardo Machicado
  – 11 June 2021 | 15:00-17:00*\n\n*Abstract:*\nThe 'Epistemologies of La
 nd' webcast series will host international experts for discussions on the 
 epistemology of land\, ahead of a related publication which will highlight
  the role of the land on\, and with which\, human relations are enacted an
 d how this land affects the knowledge that is generated and brought to use
  in social relations. The events are open to interested graduate and postg
 raduate researchers.\n\n\n*Speaker:*\nEduardo Machicado is a Postdoctoral 
 Research Associate at Queen's College\, University of Cambridge and a Geoa
 rcheologist at the Cambridge Archaeology Unit.\n\nHis research focuses on 
 how human adaptation to catastrophic environmental change has become one o
 f the most relevant topics in the news today. For his PhD and Postdoctoral
  research\, he has worked to bridge archaeology and environmental science.
  With the generous support of the Gates Cambridge Trust\, the Board of Gra
 duate Studies\, and Queens' College\, several expeditions have been set up
  to gather data on the impact of early deforestation\, the development of 
 intensive agriculture\, and urbanisation in the prehistoric world.\n\nEdua
 rdo has been particularly interested in the natural and cultural history o
 f wetlands like the tropical savannas at the edge of Amazonia\, and\, in c
 ollaboration with the Cambridge Archaeological Unit\, the coastal plains o
 f the Fenland in eastern England. In collaboration with other prestigious 
 research institutions\, his current scientific work is attempting to provi
 de a more nuanced perspective on the effect of climate change in economic 
 development and social and political conflict.\n\n*Attendance is free but
