My research aims to understand how Shipibo-Konibo children's experiences of childhood are affected by development projects in Peruvian Amazonia.
Key interests: Childhood, Latin America, child well-being, Indigenous peoples.
My academic background combines childhood studies and anthropology with a regional expertise in Latin America. I am currently looking at Shipibo children's experiences of childhood and the rise of child-sensitive social programmes in Peruvian Amazonia. I am interested in understanding the nexus between the political economy of childhood and sociocultural change, and particularly how this affects generational notions of child well-being.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in International Development funded by an UEA SSF studentship. I also teach on topics connected to Childhood, Anthropology and Latin American development.
I hold a Masters (PUC-Rio, Brazil) and a BA (UFRJ, Brazil) in Social Communication, and a PGDip in Social Policy (CLACSO, Argentina). Before joining UEA, I also worked as a qualitative researcher at the International Centre for Research and Policy on Childhood (CIESPI/PUC-Rio).
