POSTGRADUATE COURSE

-

Postgraduate course How paradoxical it is to think how much it costs to finance a professional career, and at the same time have to be validated with a postgraduate degree for a good working insertion.  It's curious that during the last weeks I have thought a lot about this subject, and the truth is that my possibility of studying a postgraduate degree is reduced to whether or not I get a scholarship, and here there are two possible scenarios. The first one, and the more difficult one, is subject to being able to obtain the much desired Beca Chile, which is a benefit that allows you to study abroad, and which not only finances your academic costs, but also your airfare, health insurance and living expenses. This would be the best scenerio, and if I could get it I would like to study a Master's degree in Anthropology with a public orientation at the Autonomous University of Madrid, full time to only be there for a year, so being away from my family wouldn't be so ...

My future job

-
Imagen
My future job It's hard for me to imagine working in any job now, not because I don't want to, but because the uncertainty of this economic downturn doesn't give me much hope. Now, from an anthropological point of view, I would like to work in some state entity or community intervention, where I would be in constant movement, and not locked up or sitting all day in an office. I would like a job that would allow me to move around and know different realities and contexts, of different productive sectors, revealing the consequences of the neoliberal model.  Sometimes I have thought about how much I would like to be a teacher, but to tell you the truth, it's something that is not very clear right now to me. Regarding the salary, I cannot imagine giving myself great luxuries or amenities, but I hope to earn what my work is worth, without having to suffer paying all my bills at the end of the month. I can imagine or want many things, but in the field of social...

My life in 10 years

My life in 10 years If I'm honest, before doing this blog I hadn't thought about a 10 year plan, and I don't know if I like doing this exercise so much haha, even less in a health crisis like the one we are living. But if I had to say something, I think about being already qualified and working in a good working environment, and trying to build knowledge useful to people's needs. I also imagine myself organized against injustice, militant, fighting with my people to build a new society. And hoping that in 10 years there will be no indolence, repression and criminalization against marginal populations that we see every day today. On the other hand, this quarantine has made me think that I have to reconnect with my body and its movement, because when i was younger I danced for a few years, so I hope in 10 years to be dancing again, I even would love to dance flamenco, but fate is uncertain. One thing is not uncertain, and that is that I can't imagine a f...

MY FAVOURITE TIME OF THE YEAR

My favourite time of the year In quarantine times, being indoors its sad , but if I had to choose a season that i like the most, that would be  autumn. After the summer autumn just arrives, between the end of March and the beginning of June, it comes to fill the streets with reddish colours, to temper the days, it invites us to leave the embracing sunny days, to change them for icy morning breezes.  What I most enjoy doing in these times is cycling around the city, as it doesn't matter what time it is, but with  light clothes I can ride, without excessive sweat, or fear of abrupt temperature changes. Besides, the landscapes are beautiful. I don't think I have a specific memory in this season, but I love that manages to solve the cold/hot or winter/summer contradiction. Now, I look forward to taking advantage of these months for next time, which will be in 2021. I imagine that I will ride my bike, take advantage of long hours of light that gives us the chance to...

The best holiday

The best holiday Between quarantine and anxiety, it's necessary to remember beautiful experiences in order to raise the spirits and be able to overcome this adverse context. That's why today I'm going to tell you about the best holidays I've ever had. It was in the summer of 2016, we decided to go on a trip to the south of the country with my mother and my sister. We traveled in a motorhome, from Valdivia to Puerto Cisnes, and from there in the return trip we crossed to Chiloé in a barge,to get to know the island. The trip lasted almost a month and we got to know wonderful places, which do not even fit in my imagination. Before this, I only knew as far as Puerto Montt, but the is amazing, its untamed nature, the color of the water, the vegetation and its huge mountains are not to be missed. It's a special place, which deserves to be explored calmly. I recommend hiking the trails of each of the national parks, especially those of the Pumalin and Queulat parks, bu...

A country I would like to visit

Imagen
Hi! It's difficult to imagine traveling in the middle of a pandemic, but in the future I would love to go to Mexico, because I have a great interest in its pre-Hispanic culture and in the political organizational development from the Mexican revolution to the present. The pre-Hispanic culture in Mesoamerica had a great influence on the rest of the continent, and the archaeological site of Teotihuacan is a must-see, its three great pyramids within a ceremonial complex, which was once a commercial and religious center that is still the site of ongoing research.  Besides, I would very much like to study at the Autonomous University of Mexico, which is state-run and widely recognized in the social sciences, standing out for its strong anti-colonial character, and its students are very involved in the country's political and social conflicts. So far I haven't left Chile, but I'm very sure that as soon as I have the possibility I'll do my best to go to Mexic...
