From September 2024 to March 2025, the LAI's political science division and trAndeS will jointly host Nathan Huanacune, a PhD candidate at the Centre of Latin American Studies at the University of Cambridge. As part of his DAAD fellowship, Nathan will work on his project with the title 'Visions of Andean integration: indigeneity, social policy, and Andean citizenship'. He is French-Peruvian and his research focuses on the politics of Andean integration within the Comunidad Andina. In particular, Nathan's research seeks to understand how ideas on indigeneity, social policy, and Andean citizenship were mobilised as part of the contest between alternative visions of Andean integration, and to what effects on the institutional evolution of the Comunidad Andina. Nathan analyses the debates that took place within this regional organisation between 2007 and 2013, when a new network of policymakers, academics, and indigenous intellectuals and activists was formed and participated in the promotion of the paradigm of Integración Integral. Nathan currently holds an MPhil in Latin American Studies from the University of Cambridge, an MSc in Inequalities and Social Science from the London School of Economics, and a BA in Politics from the University of Exeter. He has acted as a supervisor for undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge, as a graduate teaching assistant at King’s College London, and as the president of PILAS (Postgraduates in Latin American Studies) in 2022-2023. Last year, Nathan was a Fox Fellow at Yale University.
