I am a social and political psychologist working through critical approches (anticolonial, CRT, liberation psychology among others). My research focus on collective action, identity, migration, discrimination by prioritizing a research praxis from below, through lay epistemologies of oppressed but resisting people and communities. I refused to be fully encapsulated in the neoliberal university system. Instead, through scientific affiliations, I try to conduct independent research with small academic grants. I also do translations to survive economically and to support my communities.
