Research Interests
My research focuses on the history of the fishing industry in Chile in the context of international political economy during the post-World War II era. I am particularly interested in how national and international environmental policy debates have articulated with social and political struggles for resource access among small-scale fishermen. I have also conducted research on the cultural iconography of the "jangadeiros" in Brazil and its significance for the contemporary plight of subsistence-oriented fishing communities in the Brazilian Northeast.
