Biography

PhD in Social Sciences in the research line: Culture, Development and Social Intervention. Postdoctoral degree at the Center for Social Studies (CES) in the Urban Cultures, Sociability and Participation Line. Associate Professor at the Pablo de Olavide University since the academic year 2007/2008. I have been director and teacher in the University Speciality Course "Social Theatre and Socio-educational Intervention" in the 5 editions that this course has been in force. Likewise, I have been able to participate as a guest lecturer at the Universities of Granada, Nacional de Costa Rica, Universidade Estadual Paulista- Unesp and Universidade Tiradentes-UNIT in Brazil, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Perú, Universidad de Cuenca (Ecuador), etc., giving seminars and workshops related to the practice of theatre in the social sciences. I have published in different scientific journals articles on social work, social research, social theatre, etc, giving parallel lectures in academic and social spaces. Since 1995, I am in a process of work and applied research with different collectives with the commitment to articulate strategies of active participation through art, specifically with theatre, performance and theatrical collective creation. In a singular way, I have worked for 12 years with theatre as a form of expression in search of participant emancipation with groups in a context of social exclusion. In the field of Social Work, I have participated in different social projects with various groups, especially in the field of social services and with groups in contexts of exclusion (homeless and gypsy population).
