Mario Blaser

Mario Blaser (Memorial University of Newfoundland) is an anthropologist whose work explores Indigenous struggles, colonialism, and ontological conflicts over territory, development, and conservation. He is the author of Storytelling Globalization and co-editor of A World of Many Worlds. His research develops the framework of political ontology to examine how clashes between worlds and worldings shape extractive and environmental disputes. Blaser’s current work investigates “infrastructures of emplacement” that sustain plural modes of existence through long-term collaborations with Indigenous communities.
