My research looks at social movements, ethnicity and nationalism in South America. Between 2001 and 2006, I studied Indigenous activists in lowland Ecuador and their experiences with recent economic and social reforms. This project is the subject of my first book, One State, Many Nations: Indigenous Rights Struggles in Ecuador (forthcoming, SAR Press). At present, I am studying the role that international relations have played in shaping Ecuadorian national identity during the past century. Research Interests Representative Publications 2007.
