Inna Yaneva-Toraman PhD

Hello there!

My background is in Sociology and Anthropology and my research has explored questions around rural livelihoods, sustainable farming, agroecology, aquaculture, conservation management, the politics of identity, the global food system, and climate change. I have research and fieldwork experience in Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, and Vietnam, and I have taught university courses in Social Anthropology, Sustainable Development, Human Geography, Science Communication, and International Development. These experiences along with my love for art and technology have led me to pursue interdisciplinary research and wider collaborations with artists, museums, and filmmakers. I am an experienced ethnographer and have excellent knowledge in both qualitative and quantitative methods and data analysis. Most recently, I have expanded my expertise into community engagement and gamification for collaboration and impact.
