Dr. Sandrine Gallois is a postdoctoral researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, specializing in eco-anthropology and environmental sciences. She holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences and Technologies from ICTA UAB and another in Eco-Anthropology from MNHN, France. Her research focuses on the dynamics of cultures in the context of global changes, particularly through her experiences living with hunter-gatherer groups in the Congo Basin. Dr. Gallois employs an interdisciplinary approach that integrates ethnoecology, cultural anthropology, and botany to explore local ecological knowledge, childhood learning, knowledge transmission, ethnobotany, and biocultural diversity. She co-teaches the course Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, where she examines the intersection of cultural practices and environmental challenges. Dr. Gallois is also involved in the PERFORM H2020 EU research project, which investigates participatory educational processes and their impact on students' engagement with science.
