Project Title: Recognition, Identity, and Community Resistance in Latin America’s Armed Conflicts
Sofía Berrospi, Vanderbilt University
Sofía Berrospi is a fourth-year PhD candidate in political science at Vanderbilt University. Her research focuses on Indigenous politics, identity, collective action, state-building, conflict, and violence. Her dissertation book project examines how different forms of state recognition shape intra- and inter-communal dynamics, and how these dynamics, in turn, influence patterns of violence and resistance during civil armed conflicts. The project focuses on Indigenous communities in Peru and Mexico.
