I’m Claudia Diaz, Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies. I’m a settler of Latin-American background. My research focuses on climate justice education and women’s water protectors in Latin America. As a researcher, I draw on intersectional feminist approaches and Indigenous theorizing to problematize the persistence of colonial and extractive relationships in formal and non-formal educational context. I am committed to working with communities to support leaders by moving away from managerial to more relational and collective approaches to leadership.
