Description
Gabriela is a professor and researcher of Latin American political theory and decolonial perspective, bilingual paraprofessional, popular educator, translator, and journalist. She was born and raised in Argentina, and migrated to the US in 2001. She earned a doctoral degree in Philosophy, Interpretation and Culture from the Binghamton University (2012), and completed two postdoctoral stays in the Latin American and Caribbean Area Studies program at Binghamton University (2017-2019) and the Center for Global Studies and Humanities at the Duke University (2021-2022). Gabriela’s work has been dedicated to the development of theory, research, and curriculum about the relation of language to power. In her research on the coloniality of language (2015) Gabriela investigated the ways in which language is mobilized in the reproduction of a colonial social order that ripples in current situations of linguistic, epistemic, and social injustice. The LTLSRH project allowed Gabriela a praxical and embodied engagement with situations where Latinx people contest, transgress, and negotiate critically their racialized linguistic identities within educational contexts.
