Gender, Inequality and Environmental Knowledge [2026]
Academic text · Environmental Studies · Social Sciences

 

Translation​

Las comunidades locales, no occidentales, e indígenas, no suelen ser más igualitarias que las disciplinas científicas como la glaciología y, por tanto, también experimentan una representación diferencial en la producción de conocimientos medioambientales (Cochrane, 2014). Por ejemplo, Klein et al. (2014) señalan en su estudio sobre los conocimientos y observaciones de los pastores tibetanos acerca del cambio climático que existen prejuicios y desigualdades en las comunidades de la prefectura de Nagqu. No fue posible lograr el equilibrio de género en sus entrevistas porque las mujeres se negaron repetidamente a ser entrevistadas, alegando falta de conocimientos. Esto ilustra cómo surgen percepciones dominantes de la “glaciología” que, en ocasiones, pueden suprimir conocimientos alternativos. Las mujeres suelen poseer conocimientos diferentes sobre los glaciares por diversas razones como, por ejemplo: pasar más tiempo que los hombres cuidando del ganado cerca de los glaciares andinos (Dunbar y Medina Marcos, 2012); gestionar la agricultura, el cultivo en terrazas y la irrigación, que incluye la distribución de la escorrentía de los glaciares en las comunidades de las tierras altas de Perú (Bolin, 2009); [...]

Original text

Local, non-Western, and indigenous societies are often no more egalitarian than scientific disciplines such as glaciology, and thus they, too, experience differential representation in the production of environmental knowledges (Cochrane, 2014). Klein et al. (2014) report in their study of Tibetan herders’ understandings and observations of climate change, for example, that bias and inequality exist in those communities in Nagchu Prefecture. It was not possible to achieve gender balance in their interviews, for instance, because women repeatedly refused to be interviewed, citing their own lack of knowledge and illustrating how dominant perceptions of ‘glaciology’ can emerge, which may in some cases suppress alternative knowledges. Women often do possess different knowledge about glaciers due to many issues, such as: spending more time than men attending to livestock near Andean glaciers (Dunbar and Medina Marcos, 2012); managing agriculture, terracing, and irrigation that includes the distribution of glacier runoff in highland Peruvian communities (Bolin, 2009); [...]​
