As a researcher and educator I coach and supervise in qualitative and participatory forms of research. Embracing the relational philosophy of Social Construction I teach and support students/researchers working with Participatory Action Research, Arts-based Research and other formats of innovative research.
I supervise Masters and PhD students in a diverse of Graduate programs in Europe, United States and Brasil.

At the Taos Institute I am the director of the International Diploma in Social Construction and Professional Practice where I am also one of the supervisors. If you are interested in developing a creative and innovative research with impact you should enroll at this program.
