Through a PhD scholarship, I have worked as a member of the Anthropology Department of the University of Barcelona.
I have coordinated and taught 36 hours of the subject of Political Anthropology, on themes about mechanisms of social control as the creation of debt, the financiarization, the panopticism in spatial structures and the immigration policies. In contraposition, I also introduced issues about sources of resistances as the origin of social movements, the dynamics of collective action, the use of technopolitical tools and the self-organization of groups against evictions.
I have coordinated and taught 4 hours of the subject Ethnographic Workshop, on themes about the methodological challenges around the entrance to the fieldwork.
I have worked as a released member of the Mortgage Affected-Citizens Platform of Barcelona (PAH Barcelona). The formal employer was the Observatori DESC - Observatory of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: an NGO that grants juridical support and strategic resources to social groups committed to protect Human Rights. Observatori DESC has worked in the areas of the right to housing, to work, to education, to health, to food, to information, direct democracy and strategic litigation.
The job implied managing the communication team of the Platform, to coordinate social networks, to participate in the design of plans of collective and political action and to deal with the press. This job facilitates a high level of trust from the member of the Platform, and facilitates the admission of my ethnographic observation towards organizational levels of the movement.
Member and actor of the Chapao Theater Group, performing a role in the plays La Corriente (The Current) and La Deuda (The Debt). Both plays treat the common life of inhabitants from peripheral neighborhoods, exposing issues such as the social reintegration and the experience of poverty.
