> ❝I hold a Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change. I have worked at different universities internationally since 2004; and have been a tenured full professor at the Department of Educational Studies at UBC, since 2017.
> I have worked extensively with teachers, NGOs, professional associations, governments, and the private sector in areas related to cultural difference, social and global justice, international development and internationalization. I am a co-founder of the “Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures Arts/Research Collective” (GTDF) and of the “In Earth’s Care” network of Indigenous communities in Canada and Latin America.
> The GTDF collective is a very successful knowledge translation platform that emerged as a spin-off of a SSHRC Insight project related to social innovations in education, while the “In Earth’s Care” Indigenous network is the focus on my CRC research program.
