EDUCATION
Ph.D. UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Center for Ethnographic Research, 2003
Dissertation: “The Politics of Conservation: A Study of Civil Society, Corruption, and Scales of Influence in Panama’s FIDECO Environmental Trust Fund”
Research focused on a $27 million environmental trust fund established by USAID, The Nature Conservancy and Government of Panama. This dissertation demonstrates that international economic and political interests in the Panama Canal watershed direct the methods for implementing agroforestry and permaculture programs in Panama’s forested areas, overshadowing the social and environmental needs. The governmental and nongovernmental alliance has yet to set a comprehensive environmental agenda that would encourage the cohesion of a nationally-based civil society in Panama. Concurrently, there are several Panamanian NGOs establishing standards for environmental sustainability through grass roots level action, which in turn serves to cohere particular civil activity into a more general civil society.
