Recent research:
Recent scholarly work focuses on the intersection of community media, cultural preservation, and transmedia communication. A central objective has been the documentation and dissemination of the worldviews of diverse peoples and nationalities, particularly through the evolution of the Ñuca Ecuador project. Originally conceived as a radio initiative, this project has transitioned into a series of graphic books that serve as a tribute to cultural diversity and the historical struggles of ethnic minorities, including Afro-descendant communities in Ecuador. This research emphasizes the role of communication media in strengthening cultural identity, advocating for cultural rights, and fostering intercultural dialogue. Furthermore, the work explores the strategic management of digital platforms within academic environments. By integrating digital channels, magazines, and transmedia radio, these initiatives aim to enhance student-led media production and create robust communication ecosystems that facilitate community empowerment and the preservation of heritage in an increasingly digital landscape.

Key Topics:

• Cultural heritage preservation and identity
