Mentoring
In 2020 I started to give independent advice (both in Spanish and English). The advising includes general orientation in academic philosophy, tools for doing research, help with specific questions on courses or homework, and help for applying to graduate programs in Philosophy.
If you are interested in the advising, please contact me. Preference will be given to underrepresented folks in philosophy.

I organized an online reading group on social categories, opon to anybody with people from different disciplines, countries and institutions.
Among the topics we discussed are: class, race, gender, sexual orientation and mental disorders.
Interinstitutional Feminism Seminar
In spring 2021 I organized the Interinstitutional Feminism Seminar, which was taken online and open to all the public. It consisted in five talks on different topics in feminist philosophy such as gender violence, patriarchy and capitalism, and the ontology of sexed bodies.
If you are interested in any of these sessions, or you would like to collaborate as a speaker or as a co-organizer in future versions of the seminar, please contact me.
Internal Commission for Gender Equality
In 2020 I joined the Internal Commission for Gender Equality at UNAM's Institute for Philosophy Research. which was officially active in 2021. Among the work we did were a diagnosis of gender equality in the Institute, talks with the Institute community, and events around philosophy and feminist debates. You can see below one of the events we organized. I resigned in October 2021.
Programme of Adult Literacy and Education
From 2012 to 2016 I was a member of the Rural Programme of Adult Literacy and Education coordinated by Colegio Madrid Highschool in Mexico City. Since 1985, everyyear a group of teacher and students of it prepare themselves during six months for teaching in rurals and indigenous communities in Mexico.
We were inspired by Paulo Freire's activism and work. We read and discussed Freire's work and believed in liberating, horizontal education. Every year we found ourselves realizing that the project was deeply transformative, not only for how much we lear from each other but also for the friendiships we were able to form in that time.
The project is still running it is self-funded. If you are willing to support it you can find more information here.
