Formación de Capital Humano


Although my research institute is not a teaching institution, I have sought alliances and collaborations to continue with curriculum development, teaching, and human capital formation. Currently I hold faculty affiliate status within the School of Forestry and Conservation at the University of Montana, in the United States, and supervise thesis students, host student exchanges, and teach graduate courses in protected area planning within the Global Protected Area Graduate Certificate Program. I also teach coursework in nature-based tourism and conservation at the Patagonia Campus of the Universidad Austral de Chile and served as one of the core collaborators in the curriculum development committee and proposal for the creation of the four-year Nature Tourism Administration degree in 2018. Over the past three years I supervised fieldwork and participated in the master’s thesis committee for Srta. Heidi Blair, at the University of Montana; provided supervision and methodological advice to three students from Universidad San Sebastian (Daniel Salazar Riveros, Allan Perez Vega, Juan Espinosa Rudolf), who conducted their professional thesis as a team in Cerro Castillo National Park on visitor experiences and Limits of Acceptable Change. Finally, during this timeframe I provided an undergraduate professional internship for Javier Poblete Clifford, UACh, Campus Patagonia, Chile, Coyhaique, 01/01/2019 - 31/03/2019, associated with fieldwork for the research project, Influence of soundscapes on visitor experiences in diverse natural environments within the Coyhaique National Reserve.


Difusión y Transferencia


A large part of my career, both in Chile and in the USA, has been dedicated to diffusion, transference, and extension. I began my academic career as an extension professor in the Business and Community Development group of the West Virginia University Extension, where I contributed to several core programs being implemented in West Virginia communities, including "Community Planning", "First Impressions Evaluations", "Leadership Development and Facilitation Programs", and "Resilient Communities Evaluative Workshops". All of these programs enabled our ongoing research to be transformed into community betterment programs and training.

My work in Chile has continued many of these foci, working with local communities to understand and develop regional development strategies that honor and build on endogenous biocultural capacities and heritage, including natural, cultural, tangible, intangible, and movable heritage. In addition to the collaborative development of six protected area Visitor Use Plans for National Parks and Reserves in Aysén, some of my more recognized projects and contributions include my contributions to the concept of scientific tourism in Chile and projects like "Aysén, Una Patagonia por Descubrir", "Un Festín Patagon: Viajes Culinarios en Aysén", "Aysén, Vistas del Mar", and "Patrimonio Sonoros de las Áreas Silvestres Protegidas". I have produced four popular press books, a cable miniseries, and numerous manuals, expedients, workshops, conferences, special events and fairs, and whitepapers.
