Tatiana Gumucio

Dra. Tatiana Gumucio is a cultural anthropologist who seeks to contribute to development efforts at the intersection of climate and rural livelihoods to advance equality and empowerment for economically and socially disadvantaged groups. Her research analyses how social differences such as gender, ethnicity and race influence smallholder farmers’ risk perceptions, climate information needs, and capacities to respond and adapt to climate variability and change. In research and development practice roles, she has designed capacity-building activities in the form of workshops and webinars to support policymakers and development practitioners to incorporate gender considerations in public policies and programs related to adaptation, natural resource management, and agriculture. She holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Florida. She carried out her postdoctoral fellowship at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University.
