Biography

My research lies at the intersection of intercultural education and urban Mapuche activism. I do ethnographic fieldwork within urban intercultural day-care centres in Santiago de Chile. This engagement seeks to understand how the Mapuche fight for urban intercultural day-cares reaffirms urban space as sites that are part of Indigenous struggles.

I have gained professional experience within the educational sector as a department assistant and humanities tutor. Currently, I host the Spanish and Portuguese department's podcast, El Cafecito.
