Marcela Palomino-Schalscha is Lecturer in Geography and Development Studies at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand.  Her research interests lie at the intersection of social geography, development studies, and political ecology, with a special emphasis on Indigenous rights. Most of her work is located in Latin America, where she theorises the politics of scale and place, diverse and solidarity economies, decolonisation, identity politics, Indigenous tourism, and relational ontologies. More recently, she has also embarked on the use of arpilleras, textiles with political content, as more-than-textual research methods to explore the experience of refugee-background and migrant Latin American women in New Zealand. She is the co-editor of The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development (Cupples, J., Palomino-Schalscha, M., & Prieto, M. (Eds.), 2018, Routledge), and Indigenous Places and Colonial Spaces: The Politics of Intertwined Relations (Gombay, N., & Palomino-Schalscha, M., 2018, Routledge). She is also Co-editor of ACME: An International E-Journal for Critical Geographies.
