This blog tries to summarize my comments on the relationship between culture, social movements, environmental studies, and nationalisms. I am currently interested in understanding how rural communities and farmers in Northern Ireland organize and navigate the complexities Brexit and the changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol suppose for their livelihoods. Broadly my work looks at the relationships between social movements, nationalism, rural politics, and sovereignty in times of political and climate instability. I also conduct research on energy, community-based- organizations, nationalism, and infrastructure in Puerto Rico. My goal is to document, through essays, photographs, and rapid-comments how these topics relate in our contemporary time.

Esta bitácora intenta resumir mis comentarios sobre la relación entre la cultura, los movimientos sociales, los estudios ambientales y los nacionalismos. Mis intereses de investigación son la relación entre los movimientos sociales, los nacionalismos, y la soberanía en lugares como Irlanda del Norte y Puerto Rico. También estudio la relación entre energía, infraestructura, organizaciones comunitarias y nacionalismo en Puerto Rico. Mi objetivo es documentar, a través de ensayos, fotografías y comentarios rápidos, cómo estos temas se relacionan en nuestro tiempo contemporáneo.
