Work ethics, values and conduct
As a researcher of decolonial praxis, I'm very often much more interested in how one decides to conduct a project and establish connections with the ones involved rather than the final results.
Therefore, I am a professional who works with respect, kindness and boundaries. I value the work and time of the ones I decide to collaborate with. Thus, I demand the same from the ones hiring me.
I do not tolerate any type of discrimination, harassment, exploitation and prejudice within my work relations. Please be also aware that I denominate myself as a queer person of color, migrant and latine in Berlin and I am part of different communities that still need to demand respect towards their existences. Please be mindful of who you are in this society, your positionality in this specific historical moment and space we share, the communities you are part of and interact with, and the privileges you take for granted.
