Who is who in CASAS? Mercedes Ejarque

Posted on February 23, 2023January 15, 2024 by Carol Hernández

I’m Mercedes Ejarque, a researcher at the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) in Argentina and a Professor of Rural Sociology at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). I’m a sociologist and hold a Master’s Degree in Social Research and a PhD in Social Sciences.  I participated in the 2020 JPS Writeshop and became a CASAS member afterwards. My research focuses on society–nature relations around agrarian activities, social constructivism of environmental problems, alternatives forms of production and political ecology in Patagonia. I’ve also published about methodological issues in agrarian research, rural labour markets and rural-urban tendencies.

This picture was taken in march 2020 in El Escorial, a small village in Chubut’s drylands in Patagonia with two female sheep herders. 
I was researching family labour organization (especially female participation) and production strategies to deal with environmental problems. 

Some of my latest works are:
