Montse Pérez Castro is a PhD candidate studying the politics of value, knowledge and labor in corporate sustainability. She is interested in how environmental concerns in agro-industrial supply chains interact with nature-society relationships; more specifically, how these concerns and expectations are reshaping value(s) and labor.  For her dissertation, she ethnographically examines sustainable sourcing in the palm oil supply chain in Mexico. 

Her previous research focused on class, affect, food practices, and urbanization. Her interdisciplinary work is at the intersection of economic and environmental anthropology, human geography, political ecology, and science, technology, and society studies.
