Rafa Meza Duriez, a Nicaraguan educator and writer, is a former Fulbright Scholar. Rafa's exploration of literacy and language practices from rural zones in Central America allows him to analyze the pedagogical value that service offers to teachers' reflective work, as understood by the epistemologies and ontologies by which communities live every day. More broadly, Rafa's research focuses on systematizing success stories from the Global South that propose educational alternatives to our current civilization crisis. Ultimately, his goal, both academically and morally, is to uncover the possibilities for social justice and transformative educational action that exist worldwide but are currently located beyond mainstream U.S.-centric critical theory.
