Environmental capacities in Latin America: A comparison of Brazil, Chile, and Mexico
Ecological modernization (EM) is a contested idea. Most accounts agree EM entails significant state commitment to environmental protection that accommodates environmental values to neoliberal economic growth, emphasizing the use of market mechanisms rather than command-and-control policies. Most analysts believe that less industrialized countries (LICs) have fewer capacities and incentives to adopt and pursue EM policies. We examine this assumpti…
Indigenous Autonomy in Latin America: The Impact of the Indigenous Rights Revolution on the Study of Politics
This paper asserts that critiques of political science for neglecting Indigenous politics highlight a critical gap that risks overlooking significant conceptual and practical innovations. It emphasizes how Indigenous autonomy claims challenge traditional notions of sovereignty. Scholars of Indigenous politics in Latin America, publishing in area studies journals, provide essential insights into these autonomy claims and contribute valuable perspe…
A Community-Based Participatory Approach in Applying the Sociocultural Resilience Model in U.S–Mexico Border Communities
Collaborative approaches within community-based participatory research partnerships can facilitate the adaptation and measurement of conceptual health behavior models in community practice
Exploring the Vowel Space of Multicultural Toronto English
While multiethnolects have been documented in major European metropolises over the last several decades, no such varieties have been reported in North America. This is surprising given the high degree of global immigration in many North American cities. We consider Toronto, Ontario, one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and explore the features of a Multicultural Toronto English. Data comes from young people in an ethnolinguistically…
Collective trauma in Indigenous and Black territories on Colombia’s Pacific coast: A framework and collaborative approach to researching violence
Using collaborative research methods with local organisations, this study analyses collective trauma in Colombia’s Pacific coast. It examines ethnoterritorial groups, or collectivities whose identities and political organising reflect a distinct territorial consciousness characterised by intercultural, environmental and socio-economic relationships to land. ‘Peer interviewers’ adapted research instruments and ethics to their communities, highligh…
Adaptation of a Community Clinical Linkages Intervention to the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Community Case Study
In this community case study, we describe the process within an academic-community partnership of adapting UNIDOS, a community health worker (CHW)-led community-clinical linkages (CCL) intervention targeting Latinx adults in Arizona, to the evolving landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with community-based participatory research principles, academic and community-based partners made decisions regarding changes to the intervention study …
Indigenous Social Movements and Institutional Reform: Mechanisms of Interest Representation in Three Colombian Municipalities
In the 1990s, Colombia passed but unevenly enforced multicultural reforms to address indigenous rights. Parallel to this, decentralization laws delegated key aspects of interest intermediation to local governments. These reforms changed the political opportunity structure that framed the relationship between indigenous people and the state. Indigenous activists engaged nonindigenous authorities and institutions at the local level in contentious, …
Managing Multiculturalism: Indigeneity and the Struggle for Rights in Colombia
Multiculturalism, Legal Pluralism and Local Government in Colombia: Indigenous Autonomy and Institutional Embeddedness in Karmata Rúa, Antioquia
In the 1990s, Colombia decentralised politics and passed multicultural reforms as part of wider strategies to strengthen the state. Multiculturalism produced a complex institutional environment marked by jurisdictional overlap and legal plurality. The literature on Colombia's multiculturalism confirms that violence, indigenous rights abuses and the lack of enabling legislation on indigenous territorial entities limited ethno-political autonomy an…
Community Health Worker Impact on Chronic Disease Outcomes Within Primary Care Examined Using Electronic Health Records
Objectives. To investigate community health worker (CHW) effects on chronic disease outcomes using electronic health records (EHRs). Methods. We examined EHRs of 32 147 patients at risk for chronic disease during 2012 to 2015. Variables included contact with clinic-based CHWs, vitals, and laboratory tests. We estimated a mixed model for all outcomes. Results. Within-group findings showed statistically significant improvements in chronic disease i…

Teaching Large Classes with Clickers: Results from a Teaching Experiment in Comparative Politics
Instant-response technologies, or clickers, are student response devices that help address some of the challenges involved in teaching large classes, namely student motivation and engagement with the material. This article evaluates a diverse set of teaching and learning strategies enabled by clicker technology and their impact on student learning. We highlight five aspects of teaching that are enhanced by the use of clickers, describe an experim…
Contested Territoriality: Ethnic Challenges to Colombia's Territorial Regimes
This paper studies ethnic social movement autonomy claims in three regions of Colombia. It sustains that place-based and regime-specific political processes condition institutional change affecting common property regimes. The article finds that to assert local self-determination and territorial control, ethnic social movements (1) respond to territorial regimes threatening local autonomy, (2) innovate on tactics to negotiate autonomy, and (3) en…
