"Understanding and solving intractable resource governance problems."

"I am a Full Professor with the Methods Lab at the Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (FLACSO) Sede Mexico. My research is interdisciplinary by nature, and I identify both as a political scientist and as a human geographer, the two fields in which I trained during my doctorate. For a long time, my work centered on questions of cooperation in natural resource governance. This concern with collective action, institutional analysis, and commons governance remains a foundational part of my scholarship, particularly in relation to sanitation, wastewater, and bottled water. In recent years, however, my research agenda has broadened and deepened to focus on the governance of essential services and infrastructures such as water, waste, health, and care, under conditions of austerity, scarcity and inequality."

"Over the course of my career, I have examined multiple cases of policy transfer, diffusion and circulation; the design and use of policy instruments, the economic geography of industrial restructuring in leather and footwear clusters, and the politics of transnational environmental activism. In addition, I have studied the governance of bottled water, informal waste pickers� varied relationships with local governments, the role of pharmacy-adjacent doctors� offices (PADOs) as substitutes for public health services, the governance of homelessness, and the conditions under which vulnerable populations decide to engage in climate-related mobility. All of these represent alternative or emergent forms of governance that arise in response to infrastructural failure, environmental stress, and weak regulatory regimes. These cases illustrate how frontline bureaucrats, communities, and vulnerable populations navigate complex institutional arrangements, negotiate service provision, and reshape policy in practice."

"I study how frontline bureaucrats, vulnerable populations and the general public navigate and negotiate service delivery challenges, which often reshape policy in practice. While ethnography anchors much of my work, I also employ a wide range of methods: field experiments, focus groups, survival analysis, qualitative content analysis, and comparative case studies, among others. This methodological pluralism allows me to capture the complexity of these wicked problems from multiple vantage points."
