My research operates at the intersections of development, politics, and power in Latin America and Africa. I am particularly interested in Indigenous and ethnic politics, anti-racism activism, democracy and intersectional inequalities in the Global South, as well as decolonizing and locally grounded alternatives to mainstream development thinking and practice. In terms of Finland's development policy, my key focus is on the strengthening of civil societies and democracy.
My ongoing Academy of Finland research project (2019-2023) investigates new forms of Indigenous, ethnic, youth, and feminist activism in post-popular uprising contexts of the Global South (Bolivia, Kenya, Tunisia). The research team consists of myself (PI), university researcher Henri Onodera and PhD candidate Martta Kaskinen.
During my Academy of Finland fellowship (2021-2026), my research focuses on social justice and raciality in Latin American revolutions (Bolivia, Cuba), with a particular focus on anti-racism activism and in collaboration with anti-racist activists.
My first book Vivir Bien as an Alternative to Neoliberal Globalization (Routledge, 2018) examines Indigenous politics, state formation and transformative alternatives to mainstream development thinking through the ethnographic analysis of state discourses and bureaucratic applications of the notion of Vivir Bien/Buen Vivir (living well) in Bolivia. I investigated the potentials and challenges in the search for more just, inclusive and ecologically sustainable alternatives to growth-based development models in the global South.
