Janette Bulkan is an Associate Professor of Indigenous Forestry in the Department of Forest Resources Management in UBC’s Faculty of Forestry. She was Coordinator of the Amerindian Research Unit, University of Guyana from 1985 to 1999. She is interested in new forms of enclosures, both de jure and de facto, often mediated by the power of the State and its allies. Those enclosures are often not about the territory itself but about ensuring continuing access to the timber or minerals or associated intangible products and services that are incorporated into complex anastomosing supply chains.
