Juan Castillo Cocom (continued from previous page)



Dr. Juan Castillo Cocom is at UCB Anthropology in Spring 2008
Juan was invited to join the new Universidad Inter-cultural Maya de Quintana Roo in the summer of 2007. The UIMQRoo was founded by Rector Dr. Francisco Rosado May and inaugurated in August 2007.

In 2006 Juan participated in the Conference, "Maya Bejlae" sponsored by the University of California at Berkeley and was invited to give a two day workshop at the UCB Center for Latino Policy Research on Maya identity politics organized by Dr. Patricia Baquedano in November 2007. Currently he is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology in spring 2008 and working with Dr. Baquedano on project on Maya migrants in San Francisco. Juan is teaching a graduate seminar at UCB on the concept of "ethnoexodus," a theory that critically frames the movement in and out of identities within contexts of multiplicities and the proliferation of indigeneities. He is currently writing on this new theory of politics and culture.
