Profile

I am currently researching on the history of Peru's Peasant Movements in the 20th century, which is the subject of my PhD Thesis. Prior to it, I did an Master in Anthropology and Sociology also at the Graduate Institute in which I wrote a thesis entitled “Resistance and Movement in Peru’s ‘People of the Land’.” Before joining the Graduate Institute, I had studied Agronomy in Peru (BS and MS) and Humanities in the USA (BA) with additional educational experiences in Japan and Sierra Leone.
