Originally from Gran Canaria, I am a PhD student in science education at Linköping University, Sweden. I am interested in pre-service teacher education, and how universities can offer opportunities to disrupt preconceptions on sustainability issues, including anthropocentric and neoliberal discourses on what education can do and how future teachers can engage with these issues in their future role. Visualisation is an important mean to generate this disruption.

Hope is increasingly becoming central in my work and in my day to day, and I am interested in centring it in pedagogical practice in higher education in a grounded and more ‘radical’ way: the world we live in today is full of uncertainty, and bold, utopic and compassionate strategies should shape the way educators take up the challenges of today.

I also have a profile activist and coordinate the Plant-Based Campus Movement campaign at LiU, together with students from the university and the broader community. I question how this movement can be understood in a transdisciplinary way that goes beyond environmentalism ‘as facts’- hopefully, I make sense of it!
