Juan Pablo Sarmiento Barletti is a Peruvian British-trained anthropologist who teaches Social Anthropology and Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews. He has worked amongst Ashaninka groups in Peruvian Amazonia since 2007, in themes stemming from their experience of the Peruvian internal war (1980-2000) including violence, reconciliation, the development of conflict resolution mechanisms, and memory. He has also been active in the indigenous Amazonian political movement in Peru, especially in its struggle against the aggressive neoliberal development policies put forth by the state, a process which his current work interrogates from an anthropological perspective.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
