I am a PhD candidate in geography focused on heritage management, particularly as it relates to Indigenous communities. I have extensive professional experience working with Indigenous communities, particularly in the Americas, in the cultural sector. Although based in the U.S., my fieldwork is in Ecuador. My work is centered on opening up research methodologies to more inclusive practices that foreground Indigenous knowledges in managing community heritage.
"I am a political scientist interested in municipalism, public initiatives, participation, state, and activism in Latin America.
My current research aims to understand how deprivatisation, public ownership and alternative economies are defined and practiced at the local scale by actors that take part in these initiatives in Argentina, considering the role of state agencies and social movements. My intended contribution to knowledge lies in building theory capable of understanding this phenomenon beyond North-Western geographies. This is conducted as part of a transnational comparative project titled “Global Remunicipalisation and the Post-Neoliberal Turn” (GLOBALMUN) funded by the European Research Council.
I have also undertaken research on Participatory Budgeting in Argentine municipalities, focusing on meanings and attributes of participation within local state institutions and for adult and young participants."
