Juliet is a political ecologist studying the power dynamics involved with the rubber production industry in China and in Laos. In the interview, Juliet explains how political ecology is useful as a lens to explore the interplay of government policy, industry, and conservation. She also shares about her experience doing field work in China and in Laos and how she personally uses political ecology to address complex issues.
