Luke Grover is a PhD candidate in Latin American Studies at the University of Liverpool.
His research examines the manner in which young people in El Salvador respond to and resist certain configurations of violence within their everyday lives. He has recently returned to Liverpool following two and a half years of fieldwork in El Salvador. The rationale for this research developed as a result of his working in a violence prevention programme with at risk youth in a gang-controlled community in Greater San Salvador some years previously.
