Our third class of MA students is now two-thirds through their program and has proven to be a very strong and diverse group. We have now fully returned to a normal academic rhythm with an ever-increasing number of applicants for each year’s MA admissions. Outstanding applications from both North and South America, as well as Europe and East Asia, have enabled us to expand our group of foreign students in each class. In our fi rst two classes we had Venezuelan and Peruvian students, this year we added one from Argentina, and next year’s class will include students from Peru and Argentina. This year we also appointed two new staff members, both of whom have proved extremely effective. Emily Davis, who has a BA and an MA in Spanish literature from Brigham Young University, has replaced Ger- aldine Slean, who abandoned us for medical school at UCSF/Berkeley. Angela Doria-La, who holds a BA in international studies and economics from Seattle University, has replaced Omar Ochoa as our business manager. Both of these new appoin- tees are now well into their second quarter at Stanford and have proven to be excellent additions to our staff, so much so that our current opera- tions are the most effi cient we have had in my fi ve years as director. While economic constraints have led us to cut next year’s symposium funds, this year we were able to fund a series of highly successful conferences.

This is because corruption has greatly affected several countries. Following the exploration of various definitions and types of corruption, this thesis focuses on two efforts to rein in “grand corruption”, also known as executive corruption. The thesis is informed by existing theories of corruption as well as anti- corruption agencies and then situates Peru’s experience with corruption in its theoretical context and its broader Latin American context.

  • Supporting Civic Activism Among Chronically Poor Women: to What Extent Can Multidimensional Women’S Microfinance Groups Help?
    Working Paper June 2011 No. 173 Supporting civic activism among chronically poor women: to what extent can multidimensional women’s microfinance groups help? Rachel Amosu Jin Woo Kim Coleen McMillon Robertha Reid What is Chronic Poverty? The distinguishing feature of chronic poverty is extended duration in absolute poverty. Therefore, chronically poor people always, or usually, live below a poverty line, which is normally defined in terms of a money indicator (e.g. consumption, income, etc.), but could also be defined in terms of wider or subjective aspects of deprivation. This is different from the transitorily poor, who move in and out of poverty, or only occasionally fall below the poverty line.

  • Staging Lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru
    Staging lo Andino: the Scissors Dance, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason Alton Bush, MA Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Lesley Ferris, Co-Advisor Katherine Borland, Co-Advisor Ana Puga Copyright by Jason Bush 2011 Abstract “Staging Lo Andino: Danza de las Tijeras, Spectacle, and Indigenous Citizenship in the New Peru,” draws on more than sixteen months of fieldwork in Peru, financed by Ohio State‟s competitive Presidential Fellowship for dissertation research and writing. I investigate a historical ethnography of the Peruvian scissors dance, an acrobatic indigenous ritual dance historically associated with the stigma of indigeneity, poverty, and devil worship. After the interventions of Peruvian public intellectual José María Arguedas (1911-1969), the scissors dance became an emblem of indigenous Andean identity and valued as cultural patrimony of the nation. Once repudiated by dominant elites because it embodied the survival of indigenous spiritual practices, the scissors dance is now a celebrated emblem of Peru‟s cultural diversity and the perseverance of Andean traditions in the modern world. I examine the complex processes whereby anthropologists, cultural entrepreneurs, cosmopolitan artists, and indigenous performers themselves have staged the scissors dance as a symbolic resource in the construction of the emergent imaginary of a “New Peru.” I use the term “New Peru” to designate a flexible repertoire of utopian images and discourses designed to imagine the belated overcoming of colonial structures of power and the formation of a modern nation with foundations in the Pre-Columbian past.
