I hold a PhD in Ethics and Democracy (Universitat de València, Cum Laude) with over 20 years of university teaching and research experience in Venezuela and Spain. I currently teach in the Master's Programmes in Active Methodologies and Psychopedagogy at Universidad Europea de Madrid. My research spans four interconnected lines: critical and reflective thinking, from my Master's in Discourse Studies to my doctoral work on Kantian and Levinasian moral motivation (book: Creer en el Otro, 2017); intercultural and democratic competence, developed through the EU-funded project INNO4DIV (Joint Research Centre), where I led Work Package III and co-authored guidelines for educators and policymakers; a philosophical rethinking of inclusion as an educational paradigm, developed through training programmes for psychopedagogy professionals; and the foundations of learning and motivation, which I currently teach. These lines address one question: what cognitive, affective, moral, and pedagogical conditions allow a person to open up to the other and be transformed. My article "Ideología y erosión del pensamiento libre" is forthcoming in Teoría de la Educación. I founded and directed the Department of Education (Philosophy) at Universidad Católica Andrés Bello and supervise Master's theses. Research interests: intercultural and democratic competence, inclusive education, moral motivation, philosophy of education, AI ethics in education.
