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!

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.
