Felipe A. Girón P.

Felipe A. Girón P. is a social and cultural anthropologist by choice, formation and deformation. His research during the last years addresses the adaptation of farmers who’s waterfed agriculture to extreme climate events like droughts on Guatemala’s Dry Corridor, applying mainly ethnographic and qualitative methods. This ethnographic approach allows participatory projects, like the Community Based Participatory Project developed together with communities from Jalpatagua, Jutiapa and the Saint John Baptist Hospital.
