Lecturer and Researcher in International Relations (IR) at the Department of Political Science and IR, Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), a position I have held since 2021. Previously, I served as Assistant Professor of IR at the University of Los Andes (Colombia) and as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Deusto. Since earning my PhD in 2009 with the distinction Summa Cum Laude, my research and teaching have focused on the following areas: The intersections of (in)security and (im)mobility in migration policies The geographies of peacebuilding and transitional justice Religious and spiritual practices in IR theory My academic work is grounded in Critical International Relations scholarship, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches and the development of theoretical, conceptual, and methodological frameworks. Currently, my research is focused on the government of migration along maritime routes to the EU (Mediterranean and Atlantic), approached through a posthuman necropolitical lens. The aim is to analyze how power technologies that \"make-let-die\" non-white bodies operate through the intra-action of more-than-human forces such as laws, policies, satellite imagery, audio/visual detection technologies, ocean currents, waves, wind, weather, depth, and light —assemblages that produce spectral, mobile, and plastic forms of sovereignty. My academic output is often the result of generous and fruitful collaborations (through contracts or research/teaching stays) with colleagues at institutions including: UNAM (Mexico, 2025), the Interdisciplinary Center for Global South Studies, at the University of Tübingen (Germany, 2022–present), the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London (UK, 2019), Bogaziçi University (Turkey, 2008), and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) (UK, 2007). In addition, I have engaged in knowledge transfer through lectures, seminars, and consultancy work with organizations such as Amnesty International, Insight Crime, and Colombia\'s National Victims Unit, among others. My research has been published in high-impact journals such as Third World Quarterly, Mobilities, Space and Polity, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, and Contexto Internacional. Journal of Global Connections (in English); as well as Colombia Internacional, Geopolítica(s). Revista de Estudios sobre Espacio y Poder, and Relaciones Internacionales (in Spanish). I have also contributed to and co-edited several academic books—most recently Manual de Estudios Críticos: Cartografías disidentes para comprender las relaciones internacionales (Tirant lo Blanch, 2025)—and have served as guest editor of multiple special journal issues, including “Mobility and Power in IR” (Relaciones Internacionales, 2023). Research Interests: Interdisciplinary Theorization in IR: Convergences between Critical Security Studies, Mobility Studies, Island and Ocean Studies, Posthuman Feminism, Critical Peace Studies, and Post-/Decolonial Studies. (In)Security–(Im)Mobility Intersections in Migration Governance: Security-mobility-subjectivity nexuses; “transit”, space and time as technology of control; technological mediation in Search & Rescue (SAR) politics along maritime routes. Geographies of Peace and Transitional Justice: Spatial and temporal dimensions of peacebuilding (case study: Colombia); political transitions at borderlands; bi-national Indigenous peoples and diasporic territorialities; differentiated approaches to peace (gender-sex, ethnicity, territoriality, ecology). Religion and Spiritualities in IR Theory: Religion and (late)modernity in IR theory; postsecular studies; spirituality and pluriversal peace
