My trajectory as a scholar activist
I am an engaged scholar who mixes research work with community-based projects. I co-founded The People's Pantry - Toronto, a food justice mutual aid project that started in 2020 to address food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, as part of my dissertation work, I started a youth-led community centre in Puerto Nuevo (Callao, Peru) that offers a range of workshops for children and youth and focuses on offering productive services, such as community programs that are at once fun and develop community organizing skills.
Social organizing and mobilization have also been a staple of my career. I was the General Vice President of CUPE 3902, the labour union representing more than 10,000 academic workers at the University of Toronto. I have been a sociology steward and an international and mobilization steward. I also actively organized the last Unit 1 (TAs, instructors, and invigilators) and unit 5 (postdocs) round of bargaining in 2020.
I have worked for the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, developing policy and programming for Indigenous communities, which has required working closely with Indigenous nations in what is today known as Peru. I have also worked as a consultant for government institutions researching education inequality and presented research results for the Ministry of Labour on employment satisfaction. My academic and community work has also been featured in the media in Peru and Canada.
Currently, I work as an expert witness in asylum-request cases of Peruvians who have migrated to the United States.
