Peru

My project explores the ways Indigenous and Afro-Andean activists worked within, or were in conflict with, revolutionary class-based organizations in the Northern Andean region encompassing the countries of Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador during the 1920s and 1930s.

Many occupier governments seek to permanently integrate occupied territories into their national borders.

Archaeological excavations at San Jacinto, an ancient temple from the Formative Period on the Peruvian central coast (1500 B.C.), have revealed the architectural design of an important section of the monument.

This project will promote an understanding of the international interdependence of horticulture and will disseminate the ways in which vernacular landscapes provide a form of resilience. 

Although transitional justice (TJ) has been used to mobilize substantial financial resources with the aim of compensating victims of civil conflict, little is known about how countries come to drastically different reparation sums.

This research project will contribute to a better understanding of political identity and belonging among indigenous peoples of Amazonia.
