Item type:Research Project, Organización del XI Congreso Mundial de Estudios sobre momias / 11th World Congress o Mummy StudiesEl Congreso Mundial de Estudios sobre Momias es un evento académico de primer nivel que se celebra cada 3 años y reúne a científicos de los cinco continentes. El estudio de los cuerpos de personas y de animales que vivieron en el pasado puede brindar información muy valiosa sobre las enfermedades que sufrieron, la coevolución de patógenos y humanos, la manera como las costumbres impactaron en la salud, los tipos de dieta que se consumían, las relaciones de parentesco y las migraciones, entre otros. Todo este conocimiento, que se traduce en importantes lecciones para el presente. Involucra el trabajo interdisciplinario de bioantropólogos, paleopatólogos, genetistas, médicos, biólogos, arqueólogos e historiadores, entre otros. El primer congreso se realizó en 1992 en Tenerife, España. A esta primera reunión le siguieron encuentros en Cartagena, Colombia (1995); Arica, Chile (1998); Nuuk, Groenlandia (2001); Turín, Italia (2004); Lanzarote, España (2007); San Diego, Estados Unidos (2011); Río de Janeiro, Brasil (2013); Lima, Perú (2016); y Bolzano, Italia (2022). Además, en 2018 se celebró en Tenerife una reunión extraordinaria para celebrar el 25 aniversario del Congreso. En la 11va versión, a realizarse en Cusco en agosto de 2025, podrán participar en calidad de asistentes, estudiantes interesados de carreras afines a la temática del Congreso, y se tendrá además tres conferencias abiertas al público en general, que serán presentadas por tres de los expertos más renombrados a nivel mundial en el estudio de las momias. Esperamos que la realización de este Congreso en nuestro país Incentive el desarrollo de estudios bioarqueológicos entre los especialistas peruanos de disciplinas afines y los estudiantes. Además de crear conciencia en el público en general de la importancia de este patrimonio.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Research Project, Taller de Procesamiento de Lengua de Señas PeruanaThis funding will help organize the first Peruvian Sign Language Processing (LSP) Workshop. Our goal through this workshop is to train members of the Peruvian Deaf Community on topics such as technology for the deaf and hard of hearing and analysis of grammar and annotation processes. We expect that these participants become consultants for sign language processing research or any new initiative to build technology for deaf people. We are an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, linguists, interpreters, and deaf consultants who aim to analyze sign language and build sign language technology and corpora for and along with deaf communities. The expected applicants to this workshop will be deaf students of any career interested in the topic and Peruvian Sign Language interpreters. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Research Project, Understanding the inequality impacts of health PPPs in Middle-Income CountriesAs countries strive to fulfil the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the push for universal health coverage (UHC) has become a central feature of global health policy. One element has been a reiteration of the role of the private sector through a diverse range of financing mechanisms including Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). However, this poses significant challenges for governments because research indicates adverse outcomes for the right to health as a consequence of healthcare privatisation. The emphasis on commercial imperatives within PPPs has been shown to undermine the right to health, for example by using up public funds and exacerbating inequalities when PPP hospitals are located in urban centres and rural areas remain underserved. PPPs affect equity in different locations in different ways but development actors promoting PPPs tend use a ‘one size fits all’ PPP model. To counter this, a key feature of this network is the opportunity to unite experts from across Latin America, Africa and Asia to document and compare experiences of health sector PPPs across Middle Income Countries. Building on this collaboration, the network will construct a comparative research agenda, using four workshops to refine the knowledge gaps to be addressed. Work includes identifying the full range of ways in which PPPs affect heath equality in the countries represented, learning from existing experiences of using human rights-based approaches to PPPs and moving - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Research Project, Música y danza como promotores de la empatía y su efecto en la construcción de una Cultura de Paz para la mejora de relaciones interpersonales e intergrupalesLa consolidación de una cultura de paz comprende un conjunto de valores, actitudes y modos de comportamiento basados en la inclusión social, la no-violencia y el respeto por los derechos y libertades fundamentales de las personas y los grupos sociales. Desde una perspectiva psicosocial, algunos indicadores sobre los que se sustenta la cultura de paz estarían asociados, e incluso serían gatillados, por la empatía, entendida como la capacidad humana de reconocer y sentir emociones, con la posibilidad de comprender que esa emoción es sentida por otra persona en un contexto específico. Diversas investigaciones han establecido que estímulos musicales y la danza podrían incrementar la empatía en las personas, con lo que se convertirían en dispositivos culturales con un fuerte potencial para la promoción de una cultura de paz. No obstante, la literatura psicológica sugiere que no necesariamente se empatiza con otros sin distinción alguna, por lo que es razonable asumir que la expresión empática hacia terceros estaría mediada por elementos de cercanía emocional e identitarios. En ese sentido, el presente estudio busca analizar los efectos que distintas expresiones musicales y de danza (asociadas a distintos grupos sociales en la sociedad peruana), tienen en la empatía interpersonal e intergrupal, así como, en un conjunto de indicadores relacionados con la promoción de una cultura de paz. Este proyecto incorpora un análisis contextualizado en la diversidad social que caracteriza al Perú y las dinámicas sociales derivadas de dicha diversidad. Se espera que los resultados del proyecto provean de insumos sobre los cuales se puedan desarrollar estrategias de intervención a través de la música y la danza para construir cultura de paz en el país. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Research Project, Proposal for the Inaugural Pan-American Workshop on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (PWML) 2024We introduce the first session of the Pan-American Workshop on Machine Learning (PWML) to take place in the city of Cusco, Peru as part of the Andescon conference, a well-known and established conference in the area of technology and innovation. The date to be chosen is September 11th, 2024. Our vision is to create an environment where top active researchers from the American continent can interact and collaborate in the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence. AI/ML is an area of rapid development with projections to cover many areas in industry and government, especially in the area of military defense. Our objective is to bring in top scientists from different countries in the American continent to collaborate in solving very hard problems in AI/ML that are complex in nature and need great investment of funding and talent.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Research Project, Hiato en el tiempoEste proyecto se enfoca en cuestionar las formas en las que entendemos las relaciones contemporáneas con nuestro entorno y el tiempo. Propongo observar las tensiones que se generan entre la materia, las rocas y la tierra, y las prácticas humanas en el territorio a partir de los procesos geológicos. Estos procesos serán registrados en diferentes medios y serán insumos para contraponer los sistemas socioculturales, políticos y económicos desde donde se impone la idea de progreso modernista en relación a la vida del planeta. Me interesa las tensiones geológicas desde el territorio peruano porque entiendo este proyecto como un aporte a comprender visualmente la compleja constelación y entramado de distintos sistemas que coexisten bajo el dominio y merced del progreso y modernidad como única forma de desarrollo.Trabajaré piezas sonoras y escultóricas así como dibujos y audiovisuales donde se pueda tener una experiencia del tiempo desde diferentes perspectivas culturales, ancestral, indígenas y el tiempo geológico. Este proyecto interdisciplinario tiene como punto de partida conceptos de la geología moderna y la forma en la que se representa y entiende el tiempo profundo. James Hutton, geólogo Escocés observó y probó teorías sobre la edad de la Tierra y el concepto de tiempo profundo analizando las formaciones rocosas, que se conocen como discordancias, en la costa este de Escocia. El hiato es un tiempo no representado en la sedimentación estratigráfica, es decir es un momento geológico pero sin representación física que produce una discordancia. Proyecto interdisciplinario que involucra geología, audiovisual, arte sonoro y arte visual. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Research Project, Land Commodification and Housing Affordability under Capitalist Urbanisation. Global dynamics and local resistance in Peru, the United Kingdom and the United StatesThis initiative facilitates a global North-South exchange of ideas to enrich the debate on how the commodification of land under intensifying capitalist accumulation generates complex urbanisation dynamics in different regions, particularly vis-à-vis the dynamics of global urban development (Peck et al., 2009; Soja, 2010). Despite the diverse spatial context, one pervasive effect emerges: limiting access to housing for most social groups (Rolnik, 2017; Aalbers, 2016). It proposes a comparative analysis of urbanisation processes in the 21st century in Latin America, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The exchange will shed light on the similarities and differences between the legal and planning systems governing urban development, the diversity of land tenure and its impact on everyday life, the emergence of local resistances, and the articulation of alternative epistemologies regarding the conceptualisation of property. Global urbanisation is profoundly shaped by financial capital, which makes land a valuable commodity for wealth accumulation (Harvey, 2015). In multiple contexts, this phenomenon has exacerbated global capital flows and speculative real estate dynamics tied to money laundering, white-collar criminality, and the growth of urban mafias (Chiodelli, 2018). In the United States, investment funds and large real estate corporations impose structural barriers to housing access (Madden & Marcuse, 2016), while state apparatuses retreat from regulating housing speculation (Slater, 2021). In the United Kingdom, the national government aims to expand housing supply through devolution and radical planning reforms (Gibb, 2021; Gibbs et al., 2023). In Latin America, actors such as drug cartels (Birch et al., 2016; Canettieri, 2024; Corantin, 2024) and informal land developers (Dammert-Guardia et al., 2024) have turned housing access into an exceedingly inequitable landscape. Although the systems governing urban development are different, the result is the same: deepening precariousness in housing access and a worsening affordability crisis. The penetration of these new actors and their practices into most spheres of everyday life has generated forms of local and community resistance that need to be disentangled and shared across national and regional contexts. In Latin America, social movements and housing cooperatives have pioneered alternative models that challenge the speculative logic of markets (Holston, 2008; Friendly, 2017). In contrast, in the United States and the United Kingdom, resistance strategies have centred on addressing gentrification and eviction through legal and media tactics to counteract the influence of large investors (Fields, 2017). In parallel, critiques of capitalism from feminist intersectional perspectives have highlighted the importance of prioritising housing’s use value and care infrastructures (Collins, 1990; Gagó, 2014; Summers & Fields, 2024). Indigenous epistemologies also provide transformative perspectives to resist and subvert land commodification. Concepts such as Buen Vivir (Cusicanqui, 2011; Gudynas, 2011; De la Cadena, 2015) and alternative notions of property (Nichols, 2018) challenge private ownership hegemony. In the United States, Indigenous peoples have developed territorial models combining traditional practices with contemporary strategies, reframing property as a collective, intergenerational right (Coulthard, 2014). These conceptions offer an ethical framework to rethink property as a common rather than an exchangeable object. This dialogue will explore the two sides of the phenomenon of land commodification under capitalist urbanisation. On one side, it will debate the nature of speculative real estate dynamics and the emergence of new interests and mechanisms that support the actions and decisions of questionable actors, such as those linked to nontransparent practices. These discussions will also compare the policy and planning structures of urban development such as: market-led (US), planning-led (UK) and regulatory flexibility (Latin America). On the other, it will discuss how social movements, organised communities, and individual actors in the three geographies develop strategies to resist, reimagine hegemonic urbanisation models, or survive within structures of inequality. These conversations aim to identify convergences and divergences between these experiences and to develop a conceptual framework that links local resistances to global structural dynamics of urban development. The framework is expected to challenge the individualistic logic of property by considering alternatives that prioritise collective territorial connections and recognise sociospatial collective rights. This dialogue sits at the intersection of key theoretical-policy-practice debates that will be animated by four key questions: What are the logics at play in speculative real estate dynamics? How policy, legal and planning structures facilitate and strengthen the actions of actors involved in illicit practices of urban development? Why are some communities able to resist, choose not to resist, or engage in different ways with these global trends of capitalist urban development based on land commodification? How can these agencies, movements, actors, and practices inform ways of countering these dynamics at the local level and across different contexts? - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
