My research explores the relationships between social movements and states in Latin America. In my dissertation and book manuscript-in progress, I illuminate how grassroots movements in El Salvador and Nicaragua have critically engaged leftist governments to reinvent visions and strategies for social change. I have two additional ongoing research projects. One analyzes community-based peacebuilding amid chronic gang and state violence in El Salvador. The other shows how social movement activity across Latin America has fostered innovations in democracy and alternative globalizations.
