Susanna Hecht is a Professor of Urban Planning at the UCLA School of Public Affairs, specializing in tropical development, political ecology, and Amazonian studies. She holds a Ph.D. in Geography and has advised graduate students including Mariana Fajardo-Arboleda and Sebastián Solarte-Caicedo. Her research integrates historical ecology, remote sensing, and socio-political analysis to address deforestation, forest resurgence, and alternative development pathways in Latin America. Key areas of focus include the socio-environmental impacts of corporate agriculture (soy, oil palm), indigenous land management practices (e.g., Amazonian Dark Earths), and the role of migration/remittances in reshaping rural land use. She has pioneered work on forest transition theory and critiques of Malthusian explanations for deforestation. Awarded the David Livingstone Medal and Carl O. Sauer Award, Hecht's influential books include *The Fate of the Forest* and *The Scramble for the Amazon*. Her work has shaped policies for extractive reserves, climate finance mechanisms, and global environmental governance.

Diego S. Crescentino serves as Assistant Professor at the University of Deusto's Faculty of Social and Human Sciences, maintaining an active research profile bridging International Relations and Contemporary History. His transdisciplinary work examines foreign policy frameworks through historical lenses, with particular focus on Latin American geopolitical positioning and conceptual evolution of the Global South. Fluent in five languages (Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese), he has conducted research stays at Columbia University, Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, University of Erfurt, and multiple Brazilian institutions. His educational foundation includes: Ph.D. in Contemporary History from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (international mention from Columbia University) M.A. in International Relations and African Studies (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) B.A. in Political Science and Public Administration (Universidad Nacional de Cuyo) Crescentino holds ANECA accreditation for Assistant, Associate, and Private University Professor positions across the Spanish higher education system.

His work challenges traditional geopolitical binaries while examining how literary sources decode postcolonial resistance. Current projects analyze how far-right populism constructs covert utopias through environmental denial and the tension between extractivist geopolitics and community resilience. Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal three key trajectories: deconstruction of Global South conceptualization through environmental agendas, analysis of academic influences on Brazilian diplomatic practice, and methodological innovations merging historical and IR frameworks. His scholarship employs qualitative analysis, process tracing, and interdisciplinary source triangulation to examine structural transformations in emerging economies and migration governance. Professional recognition includes: Juan de la Cierva Postdoctoral Fellowship (2024) at the Spanish National Research Council Margarita Salas Postdoctoral Fellowship at Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt While specific advisees aren't documented in the provided materials, his teaching manual "Cartografías disidentes" demonstrates engagement with critical theoretical frameworks at graduate level. Research collaborations with scholars like Sergio Caballero and Gabriela de Lima Grecco indicate participation in transnational academic networks. His work with the Grupo de Estudios Internacionales de la UAM continues critical scholarship traditions established through their academic journal and master's program. Crescentino's methodological approach combines historical analysis with contemporary policy examination, particularly through oral history integration with normative frameworks.
