Julieta Aldana Blázquez

First as a political activist, and later as a researcher, I have been guided by a persistent question: how to imagine and create a future in which all lives can flourish. Trained in Literature and Language at the National University of La Plata, Argentina, my background, shaped by a careful attention to Latin America, opened pathways into those spaces where stories overflow maps and boundaries blur.

I was born in a town in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area and later lived for two years in Southern Patagonia. I am particularly drawn to the insights that biographies and minimal geographies offer, as well as to the more-than-human connections that unfold within these narratives. In this southern region of the world, I began to develop my doctoral research as a fellow of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) at the National University of Southern Patagonia. I also carried out research stays at the University of Wuppertal, Germany. My research interests include critical disaster studies, more-than-human perspectives, discourse analysis, and decolonial and ecofeminist approaches.
