Recent research:
The research focuses on the intersection of cultural management, heritage preservation, and educational innovation within the Ecuadorian context. A significant portion of the work involves the development of interdisciplinary pedagogical materials for postgraduate programs, specifically designed to professionalize cultural managers through virtual cooperative learning environments. These efforts emphasize the integration of cultural industries, heritage studies, and the application of new technologies in exhibition spaces.

Beyond formal education, the research explores the social dimensions of heritage, advocating for participatory management models that foster community engagement and local identity. This includes analyzing the role of cultural centers in urban revitalization and the legal frameworks necessary to protect both natural and cultural assets. Furthermore, the work addresses contemporary urban challenges, such as the regulation of public spaces and the mitigation of social conflicts arising from informal commerce. Finally, the research highlights the importance of non-formal education and the preservation of ancestral knowledge, demonstrating how community-based initiatives—ranging from itinerant libraries to visual arts workshops—can empower rural populations and strengthen the connection between society, memory, and sustainable development.
