Dr. Guillermo Douglass-Jaimes is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Analysis Program at Pomona College. His work is situated in global health equity and is driven by an interest and inquiry in how conceptions of place and identity can be products of social marginalization as well as sources for community resilience. His most recent work has focused on a collaborative mapping project to highlight the work of favela communities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil through a webmap that seeks to bring communities together virtually and in-person for sharing ideas, strategies, and resources for creating sustainable and resilient communities.
