In 2024, 2025, and 2026, as part of my Fondecyt Iniciación Projecy n° 11240363, I formed  a research community formed by 3rd, 4th, and 5th year Pedagogía en Inglés students from at USACH.
The project seeks to connect future teachers interested in qualitative research to work as research assistants. In collaboration sessions, the RAs connected with others, discussed theoretical and methodological underpinnings behind qualitative research. They also worked on transcription, analysis and interpretation of data enriched by the connections they made with their lives and practicum experiences.

In 2026-2027, I will lead a project in collaboration with RICELT funded by the Hornby Educational Trust. This project seeks develop decentring ELT Exploratory Action Research opportunities to empower rural teachers of English in Chile to work in collaboration and examine their local classrooms to create bottom-up situated knowledge about teaching English in rural contexts.

In 2024-2025, I led the Infographics LATAM Project funded by the Hornby Educational Trust and done in collaboration with RICELT, FAAPI from Argentina and Exploratory Practice Rio de Janeiro Group. This project sought to create collaborating teams of school teachers, academics, and pre-service teachers to create a series of infographics on locally conducted classroom research in Latin America.

In 2023-2024 I'm participating in Project Conocimientos 2030. The project is a joint venture between USACH and UCN and seeks to conduct an internal and external examination of the functioning of the Faculties of Humanities (FAHU) and Law at undergraduate and graduate levels and community service activities. I'm in charge of coordinating a team of 15 academics from diverse disciplines  at FAHU working under the strand of "Vinculación con el entorno a través de conocimientos inter y transdisciplinarios".

This year I'll be taking part in the RICELT Infographics Project with a team of ELT pre- and in-service teachers, academics, and researchers. This project is funded by Hornby Trust from the British Council and aims at making ELT research accessible and pertinent to the local ELT community by developing a set of open access infographics that will put together ELT theory and practice based on our school context and reality.

In 2022, I'll collaborate with RICELT in the Teachers 4 Teachers! project also funded by Hornby Trust from the British Council. This interesting project aims at promoting the self-directed professional development of English language teachers in Chile through discussions about local classroom-based research through a series of podcasts created and broadcasted by ELT pre- and in-service teachers, academics, and researchers. The idea is to give classroom teachers the space to share their classroom research projects and experiences.
