Jenny García Ruales

Jenny García Ruales is an anthropologist, raised between the Pacific coast, the Andean mountains, and the Ecuadorian Amazon. Her biography weaves together being here and there, where activist writing and academia have taken her by the hand. She is pursuing her PhD at the Philipps University of Marburg and the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Germany. Additionally, she specializes as an anthropological legal expert at the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar in Quito.

Her doctoral research is situated within Environmental Anthropology and Constitutional Anthropology. Jenny engages in collaborative creative research with the Kichwa People of Sarayaku in the Ecuadorian Amazon, in which, within the framework of her doctorate, she has developed a constitutional theory of a living forest.

Currently, she is the research coordinator in the Amazon of Rights project. This project compares legal frameworks across the Amazon regions and utilizes art as a method of juridical inquiry.
