Carlota McAllister's research is on the formation of political and moral agency in situations of violent conflict. She has primarily conducted fieldwork in Guatemala, but is now expanding her focus to include the rest of Central America and Cuba. She is currently revising her dissertation into a book manuscript entitled "The Good Road: Conscience and Consciousness in a Postrevolutionary Mayan Village," to be published by Duke University Press. Using historical and anthropological methods, she is interested in the anthropology of knowledge and the anthropology of religion as well as political anthropology and the study of state formation. Research interests include agency, revolution, human rights, gender, the Cold War, Catholicism, violence, post-war societies, forensic anthropology, and indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica.
