Brigitte Baptiste and Diana Calderón in conversation with Margarita Valencia

Cartagena 2024, 

Brigitte Baptiste is one of Colombia’s most eminent scientists, an expert on the environment and biodiversity. She studied Biology at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, did a Master’s in Tropical Conservation and Development, and has a doctorate in Environmental Management from the Instituto Universitario de la Paz. She was the Head of the Alexander von Humboldt Biological Resource Research Institute, and is currently the Rector of the EAN University. In conversation with Diana Calderón, both present El mundo según Brigitte, a book that offers us a portrait of Brigitte Luis Guillermo Baptiste, who has raised her voice again and again, becoming a global figure in relation to some of the most urgent matters of our times: sustainability, education, left- and right-wing regimes, and the struggle for equality. They will talk to Margarita Valencia.
