Anthropologist and Urban Ethnographer
As academicians, we are confronted with two paths. One leads us to teach, to immerse ourselves in research, and then to return to the so-called “normal” life — a life that is never truly settled. The other calls us to be visionaries, to work together in imagining and shaping new possibilities and alternative futures. These futures may not be free from challenges, yet they hold the promise of greater adaptability and collective strength in meeting them.
I chose the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference.
Through research, teaching, and collaboration, knowledge becomes a path that shapes futures and transforms lives.
