Argentina
- Economics
- Viability of Cooperatives as an Alternative Business Model
This project presents a thorough evaluation of the viability of cooperatives as
an alternative business model. Conventional wisdom postulates that cooperatives
are more socially responsible businesses, but also that they are not
economically viable. This investigation examines the validity of both claims
through the study of the recovered factory cooperatives in Argentina via
interviews, employee surveys and a comparison with the private sector.
- History, Cultural, and Intellectual
- Psychoanalysis, Politics and the Psychodramatic Legacy of Eduardo Pavlovksy
I will analyze the evolution of the links between theater and psychoanalysis in
Argentina against the backdrop of recent political history. Focusing on the work
of the psychoanalyst and playwright Eduardo Pavlovsky, I plan to investigate how
psychoanalysis occupies public and visual space in Argentina. I will intern
with an experimental theater school in the city of La Plata and work closely
Mariano Plokin, a scholar of the history of psychoanalysis.
- Teaching English
- English Teaching Assistantship
Drawing on my teaching experiences, I will seek to foster a classroom
environment in which student learning is based on inductive, communicative group
work and oral interaction. In addition to teaching, I would undertake a poetry
translation project, enroll in graduate courses at a public university and
volunteer at a local high school to gain a deeper understanding of the Argentine
public education system.
