agriculture, agave cultivation, coastal adaptations in dryland regions and human
impact in ancient environments. She continued her graduate studies at The University
of Arizona where she started teaching and participated in several interdisciplinary
and transdisciplinary projects. During her graduate work, she transitioned from an
ethnoarchaeological approach to a participatory and community-based research.
Since 2009, she established a long-term commitment with the Comcaac indigenous
community to develop in collaboration the documentation of their cultural landscape, through archaeology, ethnography, oral history and oral tradition. She
employs participatory methodologies like community workshops and participatory
mapping. She is now a member of the National Research System (SNI) as candidate
level and is a researcher in CONACYT, Instituto Potosino de Investigación Científica
y Tecnológica (IPICYT), Centro de Investigación, Innovación y Desarrollo para las
Zonas Áridas (CIIDZA). She has the opportunity to collaborate in and to develop
transdisciplinary research projects to jointly understand humans and nature as a
unity whose particularities vary upon each context and temporal trajectories to thus
develop management plans, adopt social technologies and sustainably use natural
and cultural resources.
