Luis Andueza is a human geographer with a background in anthropology and critical development studies. His work focuses on critical theory, the political ecology of uneven and combined development in Latin America, and local responses to these processes on indigenous and rural territories.

Luis has experience conducting research on a range of Latin American contexts (including Mexico, Chile, and Peru) with both academic and nongovernmental organisations, with an emphasis on participatory research methods, interdisciplinarity, and the intersections between culture, political economy, uneven development, and human/environment relations.

Luis joined the Department of International Development in September 2022. He has previously worked as a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, and as Teaching Fellow at the University of Aberdeen.

He completed his PhD in Geography at King’s College London in 2019, and holds a MSc in Environment and Development from the London School of Economics, and a degree in Social Anthropology/Ethnology from the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) in Mexico.
