Their interdisciplinary research bridges anthropology, geography, and philosophy through decolonial and queer perspectives.

Research focuses on decolonial thinking, trans philosophy, critical race theory, and Latinx feminist theories. Key areas include jotería studies, indigenous epistemologies, and embodiment theories.
