Resharing for those who weren’t able to see it! It’d be very helpful if you can repost too. Thank you :)

Last week of teaching and working at the University of Toronto, saying goodbye little by little to the life we built here with our Latinx family, our union comrades, & sociology colleagues & students. We’re so lucky to have shared and learned from them all these years. Your love is coming w/ us!

I’m back here for good now cuz the ex bird is done to me. Let me introduce myself. I’m Andrea and I recently got my PhD in Sociology from the University of Toronto. I’m joining the Soc & Crim dpt at Uni of New Mexico-ABQ this January 2025. I do work on the dynamics & politics of violence in LATAM.

In the current context, I’m hopeful to share that I got an #ASA Community Action Research Initiative Grant. The grant funds our photography community-based research in #Peru on children & youth understandings of place-making & autonomy amidst the constraints of violence.
