For the last 17 years, I have been a Professor at the Intercultural Indigenous Diplomacy School (EIDI) at Rosario University, which is dedicated to proposing educational activities in indigenous communities in Colombia. I founded this participatory, intercultural and intersectional academic space when I first joined the University with a group of colleagues, aiming at the decentralization and democratization of the production of knowledge. More than 6500 indigenous people (including 2000 indigenous women) have participated in the diplomas offered by EIDI.

My work focuses on the socio-technical and cultural dimensions of natural resources, challenging the notion that these resources are inherently natural. The processes of investing in and divesting from raw materials have always been driven by people's pursuit of both financial and non-financial values. Drawing from relational economic geography and cultural anthropology, I use an interdisciplinary, whole-system approach to analyze the political ecology of global value chains, particularly concerning sustainability issues ranging from energy to ESG.
