Cheryl Duckworth, Ph.D.
Cheryl Duckworth, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Conflict Analysis and Resolution (DCAR) in the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS) has authored a book entitled, “Land and Dignity in Paraguay.” Based on her dissertation study the book examines how the indigenous communities in Paraguay are mobilizing for land rights as viewed through historical, political and socioeconomic contexts.
