Christopher Krupa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology. He holds a PhD from the University of California, Davis, and his research interests broadly concern social life, power, and the ways people experience, express, and confront violence in everyday life. With over 15 years of experience, he has conducted research in indigenous communities in highland Ecuador, focusing on their struggles against the racializing forces of global agribusiness. He has also worked with ex-guerrilla fighters, examining the poetic legacies of state terror and revolutionary violence in post-Cold War Latin America. His latest book intersects the themes of race and capitalism in the postcolonial world, striving to reconceptualize political domination with an emphasis on the intimate and affective dimensions of state life. Krupa continues to research and write about the manifestations of violence within the legal framework.
