Rosaleen Howard

I joined the School of Modern Languages at Newcastle from the Institute of Latin American Studies at the University of Liverpool in July 2005. I work on the anthropology and sociolinguistics of the Andes. My research is based on field work in areas where both Spanish and Quechua are spoken (Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia). My PhD dealt with Quechua oral storytelling in highland Ecuador. Since then I have published widely on Quechua oral history; anthropological approaches to the study of language contact, especially translation issues; language politics, language policy, and cultural identity in the Andes; intercultural education policy for indigenous peoples.
