I’ve started this blog so I can post updates about my 2012 field trip to Amazonas, Peru. The goal of my fieldwork is to learn more about Jivaroan languages, culture and history. Maybe you’d like to learn more about them too! I will be collecting and discussing Aguaruna grammatical data, learning more about traditional stories and the knowledge embodied in them, and collecting information on ethnobotanical knowledge.
My plan is to travel up the Santiago River and visit some Huambisa communities. I will also visit two or three Aguaruna communities in Amazonas and/or San Martín; experience has taught me to keep my itinerary flexible, so I’ll just see what opportunities present themselves.
