Research Interests
I study small-scale farming in South America, particularly how national governance and conservation measures interact with campesino and indigenous land use and environmental degradation. I engage in fieldwork (interviews and field observations) and utilize mapping techniques (GIS and Remote Sensing) to investigate these issues. I'm also interested in examining street art and graffiti, and how these urban projects connect with political protest.
