DPhil Student
Harris Manchester College
Graduated from the Universidad de Chile (Lic. 2017, Tít. 2019).
Thesis: ‘How life is: Mapuche epistemic structures and the nature of the real’ (working title)
Research interests: I am interested in Indigenous epistemologies, ontologies, and self-determination processes around the globe, as well as the presence of Indigenous scholars in the academe. I propose an anthropological praxis of ‘respect’ to overcome enduring biases in terms of how Indigenous lives and cultures are represented.
I was the treasurer of the Oxford University Anthropological Society (OUAS) and the president of the Oxford Chilean Society during 2021-22. I am currently conducting fieldwork in South America.
