My research studies how educational movements plan for and promote bilingual education and speak and write in Indigenous languages, as well as how government and non-governmental technologies鈥攍arge-scale exams, standardized writing, curriculum design鈥攎ay force Indigenous languages and their speakers to change in the process.

As a scholar of Latin America, my research has focused on Ecuador, which includes one of the most remarkable cases in the world for Indigenous education. Activists there have directed a national bilingual school system for Indigenous students for more than 30 years. 

My ongoing research and writing examines the intersections of colonial linguistics and policies, multilingual education, and current efforts to change institutions like policy offices and schools. My work aims to better understand the politics of state-sponsored institutions and how they shape education. I apply the results of my research to support alternative forms of schooling in Kichwa, seeking to bridge analysis with on-the-ground efforts to better life in Ecuador, where I have spent much of my adult life.  

My research spans disciplines and fields like: linguistic and cultural anthropology, anthropology of education, political anthropology, international & comparative education, multilingualism, language revitalization, urban inequality and migration, culturally and linguistically relevant pedagogies.
