Indigenous Chilean Grad Students’ Experiences with STEM and Academic English

I am a research assistant on the project “Academic Trajectories of Indigenous Graduate Students in STEM Fields in State Universities in South-central Chile,” which is funded by Grant #1117094 of the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (Chile). My capacities in this role have included research and writing, translation, and interpretation, and increasingly I am working to address the role that academic English plays in the topic at hand, which corresponds most closely with my primary research trajectories as an academic and doctoral student.

Chilean Preservice English Teachers’ Perceptions on the Use of Digital Technologies in the Classroom

This project grew out of research completed for my Master’s thesis in 2017. I have presented on the topic in the education area of the Conference of the Latin American Studies Association (2017), and I am currently preparing a related journal article to present the results of a qualitative study carried out with 11 preservice teachers in southern Chile.
