She is the author of the book “Lecturas del cuerpo-del-paciente. Contributions of the social sciences to medical semiology” (EDUNER) and numerous articles on education, social sciences and mental health.

In 2017, together with a team of teachers and students, he created the Education and Links Magazine. Journal of interdisciplinary studies in Education and was its director until 2020 when she retired.

On the last Thursday of October we met to interview her. There are a few days left until the Day of the Dead and in your home the feelings and gestures of Mexican culture become visible. In this atmosphere our conversation begins, in which memory and horizons are a latent trace; also the ruptures and continuities that link their personal and collective projects and intertwine with marches and counter-marches a unique training journey.

As a team and group builder, and against the grain of what the word retirement 'reproduces', she has accompanied the preparation of several issues of this magazine; political-pedagogical gesture to celebrate, as long as we take part, and we invite from your reading to take part in your own, vital and delayed experience that is expressed in this tenth edition through this interview.
