Rag Radio
June 29, 2012
Cristina Herencia is a Peruvian social psychologist who works in interdisciplinary
social sciences with a specialty in the study of indigenous peoples. On
this show she discusses the effect of globalization and the spread of
global capitalism on native peoples, especially in the Americas; the
historical -- and continuing -- injustices committed against native
peoples; the reemergence of indigenous peoples' movements on the public
scene and the role of the United Nations in providing them with a forum;
and what the non-patriarchial, egalitarian, earth-rooted Indian
cultures have to offer a contemporary world in crisis.
Herencia, who has been teaching introductory sociology at Austin
Community College, has a Masters in Experimental Psychology from the
State University of New York (SUNY) and a Ph.D in Latin American Studies
from the University of Texas at Austin. Cristina’s primary research
deals with social identity in Native Andean peoples and cultures,
especially in relation to gender, and the impact of globalization on
their lives. She has presented talks and papers in the United States and
in Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Peru, and Spain --
and in Havana and Paris. She attended the 1992 Columbus Quincentennial
Commemoration and for the last nine years has participated in United
Nations forums on indigenous peoples.
