ABOUT BATHSHEBA F. BRYANT-TARPEH
I am a humanistic social scientist and ethnographer with a passion for community empowerment and demonstrated history of working in the international development and affairs sector. My field experience has focused on smallholder farmers in West Africa and coffee farmers and wildlife conservation in South America. My approach to development is from a human rights and environmental justice lens. I believe that gender and social science research and approaches support innovations in policy and practice in global development by improving livelihoods and opportunities for the most vulnerable. My interests are food and nutrition security, land and resource rights, and gender equality and women\'s empowerment for People of African Descent, Indigenous and local communities.
