Her current research program is grounded primarily within Latinx and Indigenous contexts and includes: (1) long-standing ethnographic and participatory research with agropastoralists of the Peruvian Andes who are adapting to rapid glacier melt; (2) ethnographic engagement within the UNFCCC process, specifically with the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP); and (3) new research on care-based climate adaptation among Latinx farmworkers in the U.S. Haverkamp’s regional expertise are in Latin America and the U.S; and she has disciplinary training in anthropology, human geography, and visual journalism.
