Sebastian Vacas Oleas
DPhil Student
Sebastian's work in indigenous Amazonia focuses on indigenous history. He works with Shuar people in lowland Ecuador where my main concern is studying how indigenous historic understandings oppose colonial narratives and can help mobilise Shuar efforts against resource extraction in their lands. Sebastian is equally interested in indigenous political organisation and its entanglements with and survival of colonial forms of governance.
