University of Michigan doctoral student Margarita Huayhua, under the guidance of Dr. Bruce Mannheim, will investigate fractal social categories that are situation-specific markers of ethnic hierarchy in the southern Andes. Huayhua will study how these categories are created and re-created by the rhetoric of hierarchy in daily social interaction and how they are displayed by language and body comportment. This research will investigate whether the socially created categories of runa ("native Quechua speaker") and misti ("Spanish speaking local elite") conflict with the ideal of Peruvian citizenship that is understood to offer all individuals equal rights and responsibilities. Huayhua will focus on the face-to-face interactions between Quechua speakers and Spanish speakers in the countryside near Cuzco in order to study how these hierarchical social categories are deployed in everyday social relationships. This investigation will consist of ethnographic and socio-linguistic research on the relationship between runa and misti based on long-term participant observation, in-depth interviews, photos and sketches, body hexis codification, sociolinguistic analysis of interactions and analysis of body comportment a variety of settings. The researcher will examine why and how fractal relationships work and if and how they contribute to establishing a social world in which, although runa are nominal citizens, they are placed in hierarchical relationships inferior to the misti. The research will contribute to better understanding of patterns of inequality and social exclusion and the often unseen ways in which they are created and perpetuated. Understanding how such mechanisms of inequality and exclusion work will contribute to developing policy to address them more concretely and effectively. The research also will contribute to the education of a graduate student.

密歇根大学博士生玛格丽塔·华华在布鲁斯曼海姆博士的指导下，将研究分形社会类别，这些类别是南安第斯山脉种族等级的特定情况标记。华华将研究这些类别是如何在日常社会交往中通过等级修辞来创造和再创造的，以及它们是如何通过语言和身体举止来展示的。这项研究将调查社会创造的runa（“本地克丘亚语者”）和misti（“讲西班牙语的地方精英”）类别是否与秘鲁公民身份的理想相冲突，秘鲁公民身份的理想被理解为向所有人提供平等的权利和责任。Huayhua将专注于在库斯科附近的农村，克丘亚语使用者和西班牙语使用者之间的面对面互动，以研究这些等级社会类别如何在日常社会关系中部署。这项调查将包括基于长期参与者观察，深入访谈，照片和草图，身体hexis编纂，互动的社会语言学分析和身体举止的分析各种设置的基础上，对runa和misti之间的关系的民族志和社会语言学研究。研究人员将研究为什么和如何分形关系的工作，如果和如何他们有助于建立一个社会世界，虽然runa名义上的公民，他们被放置在等级关系低于misti。这项研究将有助于更好地了解不平等和社会排斥的模式，以及它们往往以看不见的方式产生和延续。了解这种不平等和排斥机制如何发挥作用将有助于制定政策，更具体和有效地解决这些问题。本研究也将有助于研究生的教育。
