Recent research:
Across these publications, the researcher situates psychology and social sciences within Latin American contexts, highlighting how decolonial and feminist epistemologies can reshape teaching, research, and practice. The work critiques biomedical hegemony in psychology, advocates integrating critical epistemologies, and uses autoethnography, ethnography, and genealogical methods to map body politics, feminist activism, and participatory practices. A recurring emphasis is on making research relevant to local realities in Ecuador through context-based approaches, inclusive pedagogy, and critical analyses of media, disinformation, and political participation. The combined narrative demonstrates a methodological commitment to mixed qualitative approaches (autoethnography, ethnography, genealogical analysis) and a theoretical drive to connect activism, embodiment, and dialogue across generations to envision more inclusive, decolonial, and socially engaged disciplines. The impact centers on informing teaching, research practice, and policy discourse by foregrounding Latin American voices, feminist futurities, and critical epistemologies in psychology, media studies, and social sciences.
