I am an interdisciplinary researcher and educator from Colombia. My research is informed by 15 years of experience as a teacher and community developer, and enriched by disciplinary training in philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and dance. In Aotearoa New Zealand I have contributed to research, pedagogical, and cultural projects working with Māori, Pasifika and migrant communities to address issues such as healthy relationships, racial stereotypes, colonial legacies, social inequality, youth aspirations, and culturally sustaining education. I have expertise in qualitative, arts-based and decolonial methodologies and work comfortably with various theoretical approaches with a focus on critical theory and Indigenous epistemologies. I have a particular interest in political ontology as a framework for engaging with Indigenous communities, social movements, community organising, and informal learning settings, making visible the ways in which these communities imagine and embody alternative worlds. I am engaged in thinking with / standing with the peoples of Abya Yala (indigenous Americas) and Moana Nui a Kiwa (Pacific), in hopeful support of the movements that push forward the possibility of the Pluriverse, ‘a World where Many Worlds can exist’ (Zapatists expression).
