Kristina Lyons’ current research is situated at the interfaces of socio-ecological conflicts, feminist science studies, and legal anthropology in Latin America. Her manuscript, Vital Decomposition: Soil Practitioners' Life Politics (Duke 2020), explores the interactions between various practitioners – from state soil scientists to peasant farmers – as they cultivate alternatives to commercial coca crops amid military-led, growth-oriented development paradigms intended to substitute these crops. In 2015, Dr. Lyons directed a popular education documentary film project based on farmer-to-farmer alternative agricultural practices called Cultivating Bien Vivir (Living Well). Her current work focuses on themes of memory, mourning, water, geological processes, participatory forms of territorial planning, and socio-natural disaster, along with water-inspired subjectivities.
