I work at the intersection of transdisciplinary and transformative research, where knowledge is not merely produced but co-created through relationships. My research explores how knowledge co-production with Indigenous Peoples, Traditional, and Local Communities can be woven together in ways that uphold epistemic justice, focusing on the how of the how. Rather than approaching these communities as sources of data, I engage in collaborative processes that center their cosmovisions as essential to fostering meaningful transformations.

For me, research is not about offering fixed answers or definitive models. It is about expanding the possibilities of the pluriverse of knowing, doing, and being—engaging in a dialogical, embodied, and relational praxis. I do not seek to replace one paradigm with another but to weave spaces for multiple worlds to have the right to exist and then to coexist, to listen across differences, and to co-inhabit futures rooted in justice, dignity, and interdependence.

My work, at the intersection of sustainability science, epistemic justice, and collective transformation, contributes to reinhabiting research as a space of belonging, reciprocity, and hope.
