Statement
(English)
I have participated in IAMCR since 2008 and been fascinated by the vitality and plurality of the IAMCR community and the quality of its conferences. I share its spirit and would like to contribute from Mexico. I have been formed by Latin American critical thought and promote a practice of communication and media research that responds to inequalities and violence.
My expertise lies in audience studies and ICT for development and social change. The sociocultural study of media practices and their contribution to empowering citizenship equality among diversity has been the core of my interest. I am a professor at the Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, Mexico. And a member of the National System of Researchers of the Council for Humanities, Science and Technology, level 2. Some of my publications are Do those who listen also speak out? Political and citizen participation of radio newscasts audiences in Mexico (2023), SAGE; Itineraries for organizations in favor of youth. ICT and development (2019) and Citizen and Media Geographies (2012), UAA. I speak English fluently and work well as a team.

Endorsement Rebeca Padilla
I have known Rebeca for more than 20 years, as I was her student in the BA in Communication and her research assistant several years later, in projects on citizenship and communication. Over time we recognized each other as colleagues and friends.
Rebeca is an outstanding researcher, with many years of experience, which have earned her several institutional recognitions and level 2 in the National System of Researchers in Mexico. As a researcher she has actively pursuit public impact.
She has participated in several associations of communication researchers, such as the Mexican Association of Communication Researchers (AMIC), the Latin American Association of Communication Researchers (ALAIC) and, of course, IAMCR. In this, Rebeca has participated for several years as presenter in Audience Section and as presenter and reviewer in the Participatory Communication Research Section, in which I am currently co-chair.
I support her candidacy, because the IC requires diversity and she can contribute a lot, from her position as an experienced Latin American female scholar.
Rebeca Padilla to the IC
I know some of Rebecca Padilla's work from several interactions and presentations at the Participatory Communication Section and I admire her qualities as a scholar. She is also a natural leader, irradiating sympathy and an openness to dialogue that will enrich the IC.
