Jonathan’s doctoral thesis, ‘The Path to Ethnogenesis and Autonomy: Kallawaya-consciousness in Plurinational Bolivia’ examined Bolivia’s transformation into a plurinational state with autonomies ethnographically through the practical experience of an indigenous nation, the Kallawayas, in decolonising their own social reality through autonomous political practices and constructing an ethno-nationalist identity based on cultural and territorial belonging. He has published on indigenous autonomy, infrastructure, housing and materiality, amongst other topics related to his research in Bolivia.
