Bio/Research

One of Dr. Kowalchuk's main research interests is social movements and collective action. Kowalchuk has done research on small and landless farmers’ efforts to deepen and defend land reform, and maintains an interest in the fate of existing land reforms under state efforts to unravel them. She is also interested in collective resistance to neoliberal globalization in Central America, particularly trade integration and privatization of public services. Issues of gender justice in the developing country context are another area of interest, and have been a theme of several courses she has taught. Her most recent research project looked at the impact of neoliberal policies on the work conditions of nurses in El Salvador and Nicaragua.
