Pedro Igor Galvão Gomes is a British Council Early Career Fellow and part of the Rights Lab's Measurement and Geographies Programme. His research examines how forced labour and deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon are spatially expressed through unequal landscape transformations. He focuses on the social production of space, analysing how historical and structural inequalities shape urban and rural environments. His current work uses GIS, geodata and socio-environmental indicators to assess correlations between land use and exploitative labour practices. Pedro holds a degree in Architecture and Urbanism and is completing a Master's in Environmental Sciences at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT). He investigates landscape as both product and object of social space production, revealing how Brazil’s colonial legacy persists through visible patterns of spatial segregation, exploitation and socio-environmental injustice.
