I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography and Earth Science at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse.
My upcoming research will focus on comparing community reserves (for locally-generated natural resource protection) in Mexico and Central America in the wake of the general failure of top-down conservation and development protected areas, during the current period of diverse forms of post(?)-neoliberal indigenous and rural territorial restructuring.
I will continue to participate in the Centroamérica Indígena research project, helping indigenous groups in Honduras to map, secure, and govern their territories while investigating why some groups in Central America are more successful at this than others.
