Hello!
I am a PhD student at the RTG 2571 "Empires" at the Universities of Freiburg. My research interests lie at the intersection between the Sociology of Knowledge and processes of epistemic decolonization, where I focus especially on global knowledge configuration and autonomous and anticolonial movements of resistance. My PhD thesis has the title From Colonial to Indigenous Universities: Tracing Colonial Legacies and Epistemic Resistance in Mexico and is supervised by Manuela Boatcă.
Before that, I wrote my Masters' Thesis at the Institute of Sociology of the Universities of Vienna on the intersection of the Sociology of Social Transformation and Indigenous Univiersities in Mexico with the aim to re-think sociological knowledge production and centring anticolonial movements in the context of global epistemic hierarchies. Through this work, I also gained knowledge on Mexican Indigenous education policies, Indigenous forms of self-organisation and counterhegemonial pedagogies.
I have realized an exchange semester in Latin American Studies at the Universidad Autónoma de México in Mexico City and research stays at the the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla with John Holloway in Puebla and the CIESAS Occidente with Inés Durán Matute in Guadalajara.
If you are interested in any of the subjects or just want to exchange thoughts (for what ever reason), feel free to get in touch with me: vincent.kretschmer.calderon@grk2571.uni-freiburg.de
