Meet the Speakers

Dr. Inés Durán Matute is an active companion of the struggle of native peoples in Mexico, a militant in the Struggle for Life, and a passionate photographer. She is a PhD graduate of the University of Sydney, Australia, and has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology (2017-2019), the University of California Los Angeles (2019-2020), and of the International Research Group on Authoritarianism and Counter-Strategies (IRGAC) (2020-2022).

She is currently a researcher at the Centre for Research and Higher Studies in Social Anthropology in Mexico, where she investigates the entanglements of authoritarianism, capitalism, and the socio-ecological collapse and explores the prospects of struggles and resistances to create non-capitalist futures, mainly through art and education.

Dr. Rocío Moreno is a dedicated historian and community educator with deep roots in the Coca community of Mezcala, Jalisco, Mexico. With over a decade of experience, she has focused her work on indigenous history, cultural identity, and the role of women in shaping socio-historical narratives. Dr. Moreno holds advanced degrees in History and Social Sciences, which inform her interactive workshops aimed at children and youth, fostering a strong sense of identity and cultural pride.

Her workshops, now extended virtually to the Coca diaspora in the U.S., are well-suited for educational settings that value inclusivity, cultural history, and community engagement. Dr. Moreno is passionate about creating educational materials that resonate with indigenous communities and inspire young learners. If you're seeking an experienced teacher with a strong background in indigenous culture and history, Dr. Moreno brings both expertise and a genuine commitment to her students’ growth and understanding.
