Carolina Domínguez-Guzmán

Ph.D. Candidate

Carolina Domínguez-Guzmán is currently finishing her PhD dissertation at the Anthropology department at the University of Amsterdam. She writes about complexities and the ways water is enacted as a singular, coherent and universal object that clashes with the diversity of agricultural and irrigation practices of small farmers in Peru. Her work draws on feminist science and technology studies, material semiotics and anthropology. Her recent publications and interests include ontological politics, irrigation technologies and processes, and caring for water and infrastructure. In the T2GS project, she is interested in exploring human and groundwater inter-actions through the ethnographic study of ‘pozas’, an ancient irrigation technology that is currently being used for export agriculture, in Northern Peru.
