research interests: 

my research interests include territorial/ecological anthropology, oral history, indigenous peoples, the relations they historically establish with the surrounding environment and land use patterns.

i have been directing my research especially to amerindian ethnology of south america (tupi-guarani) and aboriginal peoples in canada (first nations). during my phd research, i conducted fieldwork with the kaiabi indigenous people, inhabitants of southeastern brazilian amazon, seeking to analyze their ancient attachment to the land they live and defend for more than 200 years. i also examined a situation of social environmental conflict in the disputes to assert their territoriality, regarding the struggles with different kinds of economic fronts (mining, logging, hydro and ranching enterprises).

in canada, i am working directly with first nations communities in northern ontario (lac seul and slate falls first nations). working along with an interdisciplinary research team and funded by a sshrc insight development grant, i am leading a land use and occupancy research program guided by communities’ defined priorities. working in conjunction with first nations, field school opportunities and hands-on experience in ethnography and archeology are offered to native and non-native 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . 

in another research program funded by sshrc, i am the project director, working with a team of researchers from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and york university, studying comparative approaches to culture based tourism in canada and ecuador.
