CURRENT RESEARCH
I am currently writing a book with my colleague Ken Mijeski about the ups and downs of the indigenous movement in Ecuador over the past 20 years. The book focuses on the Pachakutik political movement, which was an outgrowth of the success of the main indigenous social movement organization. Related to that, I am also analyzing survey data on attitudes and beliefs concerning race, prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes in Ecuador.
