The objective of the Interdisciplinary Research Group on the Territories of Extractivism (GRITE) is to develop a common and socially relevant research program on these issues. GRITE is an interdisciplinary team of professors and students from the Faculty of Social Sciences (anthropology, development studies and globalization, political science, and sociology) and the Faculty of Law, whose research interests span the range of socio-environmental issues raised by the extractive industry.
