Additional information

Pablo Domínguez is an environmental anthropologist (Master’s Degree in Environmental Biology from UAM and PhD in Social Anthropology and Ethnology from EHESS and UAB). His research focuses on customary systems of governance / community‑based management of natural resources, especially mountain pastoralism. During his first ten years of research, his main theoretical question focused on “how symbolic‑cultural‑religious representations and the socio‑material uses of the environment are related to each other.”
During these early years, he concentrated most of his work on the Maghreb, particularly on the agro‑sylvo‑pastoralism of the Amazigh/Berber populations of the High Atlas (Morocco) and their agdals, the main community‑based management systems in Morocco
Since 2015, he has opened his research to new field sites in other Mediterranean mountain regions such as the mountain systems of north‑eastern Andalusia (Spain), the Pyrenees (France), and the Dinaric Alps (Montenegro). At the same time, he supervises two PhD theses in East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania).
His research interests have also evolved toward the development of an increasingly holistic and transdisciplinary (eco‑anthropological) approach to pastoral commons, as well as toward different possible ways of supporting them, notably through the patrimonialisation of nature and culture, and a political ecology perspective
