I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Alberta.

I am also a member of the Groupe de Recherche en Éthique Environnementale et Animale. I was previously a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre de Recherche en Éthique and the CRC in Feminist Ethics (2022-2023), and a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at McGill University (2020-2022). I received my PhD in Political Theory from the University of Victoria, British Columbia (2020). I was born and raised in Mexico City.

I teach courses on nature, ecology, and environmental thought. My research is oriented towards learning from and engaging with alternative ways of relating to the multiplicity of beings, ecosystems, and interconnected webs of life on Earth. My main goal is to extend ethics and politics beyond dominant understandings of ‘the human’, and thus to deparochialize and to ecologize political thought. While my work traverses disciplinary boundaries, it is primarily situated within political theory, with a focus on environmental and ecological thinking, feminist theories, Indigenous politics, disability studies, and critical animal studies, among others. I have also developed a growing interest in comparative political theory, as well as decolonial, anti-colonial, and postcolonial thought.

I am currently working towards rethinking how to conceive of thought and knowledge beyond the conventionally understood human-animal mind.
