• 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.

• 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.
