Promoting research-based parenting strategies through U.S. local television news
Research finds that parents’ knowledge and practices exert significant influence on the developmental outcomes of children and youth. Formal parenting programs that improve parenting knowledge and practices can positively impact children’s development and behavior; however, these programs tend to be limited in terms of their scope and size of the populations they serve. We conducted an experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the Posit…

Naturales de una ciudad multiétnica
Naturales de una ciudad multiétnica analiza la presencia indígena en Quito durante el siglo xvii para argumentar que los indígenas o “naturales” formaron parte de la ciudad, de la vida comercial, económica, social y política de ésta, lo que dio pie a la configuración de una ciudad multiétnica –y no blanca, según el proyecto hispánico– que albergó a varios grupos étnicos, entre ellos hispanos, indígenas, afrodescendientes y mestizos. Esta presenci…
An Analysis of Digital Media Data to Understand Parents’ Concerns During the Covid-19 Pandemic to Enhance Effective Science Communication

Argumenta que las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres de la Real Audiencia de Quito durante el sigl…
Migration and Development
Based upon a case study of the municipality of Cañar, in Andean Ecuador, this paper examines the conflictive relationship between migration and development to show how current approaches fail to consider the political issues implicit in this link. Instead, the concept of displacement is proposed, which, as argued in this work, implies an action (that of moving to another place) which subjects perform reflexively upon themselves. This challenges t…
El mito al debate, las ONG en Ecuador
Ong... siglas que nombran e identifican. Siglas que aproximadamente, desde hace una década inundan el discurso y la literatura especializada del desarrollo. Siglas que hacen referencia a un nuevo actor, presente en los escenarios del desarrollo: las organizaciones no gubernamentales
La historia de límites o los límites de la historia
La firma del acuerdo de paz entre Ecuador y Perú ha generado un inusitado debate sobre la historia del Ecuador. Este artículo intenta ofrecer algunos elementos de reflexión sobre el tema

Connecting Interpersonal and Mass Communication
We present experimental data (n = 667) supporting three hypotheses that link science news, perceptions about science, and talk with other people. Regular television news viewers were recruited from a midsize Designated Market Area using random digit dialing, and were randomly assigned to one of three science news exposure conditions. As hypothesized, science television news exposure appears to boost perceived ability to understand science. We als…
