María de la Luz Delgado Gomez
I was born in Xiquipilli, Mexico. I inhabit the land with deep love and believe in the potential of the community. I am a scientist-amphibian, political scientist, public administrator and intercultural manager from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. I write from the street, the mountains and the seas. My gaze is ecofeminist and decolonial. I roam the world as a cyclist and sometimes as an environmental journalist. I specialize in science, technology and society studies, social campaigns, and political ecology.
