  • Thematic: Gender, ethnicity, power and violence, migration
  • Regional: Latin America
  • Stølen’s current research project focuses on gender and agricultural change in Argentina in view of the rapid expansion of gene modified organisms in agriculture. The project is part of a longitudinal study of agrarian change among farmers in Argentina, started in 1973 and continued in 1988, covering processes of transformation since the first Italian immigrants settled in the area in the 1880s. The present project focuses on the last two decades, and the local impact of the expansion of the new biological technologies.
