PhD Research

A tale of development and Migration: a multi-sited digital ethnography of the mobilizations of Afro-Colombian from the Pacific Region to Chile.

Esta investigación se encuentra en la intersección entre la antropología del desarrollo y los estudios de migración. Pretendo entender que ha sucedido con la praxis de estar bien (desarrollo alternativo) de algunos pobladores Afrocolombianos del Pacífico tras su migración y asentamiento en Chile. Es una etnografía multisituada que se vale también de métodos digitales.

This research is at the cross paths between the anthropology of development and migration studies. I intend to understand what has happened to the praxis of well-being (Estar bien) of some Afrocolombians after their emigration and settlement in Chile. It is a multi-sited ethnography that leverages on digital methods.
