I have extensive research experience on food and agriculture and land degradation in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. Recent work includes a volume co-edited with William H. Durham entitled THE SOCIAL CAUSES OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION IN LATIN AMERICA. My current research focuses on rural production relations and patterns of capital accumulation in Bolivia, the relation- ships among class, ethnicity and gender in rural social movements, and social conflicts associated with the establishment and maintenance of protected areas in Latin America.
