 Hello! today I am going to tell you about some changes I have thought the major in political science could have.  First, I think political theory should focus on contemporary philosophical traditions, rather than a historical survey of political theory. The Classical Political Thought course should be taken for two semesters. In addition, a discipline as qualitative as political science should go more deeply into qualitative research methods. Currently it is only one course, but there should be two semesters of qualitative method. In this digital age, all the tools we have at our disposal to bring the educational process closer should be occupied. Documentaries, series, even cartoons have a high pedagogical value that should be claimed. The workload in general is good, the demand is not so hard but it does require a lot of time to invest in reading. Perhaps it would be prudent to move towards more expository and oral mechanisms rather than written essays. In addition, teamwor...

  Hello everyone, today I am going to show you the future I imagine for Chile, for the year 2036. I choose that particular year because it will be when Santiago, my little friend and partner, will be 18 years old.  I hope that by that time, the State and society will have undergone important transformations, in inclusion and equality, so that no one else in this country will have to die because they did not have access to health care, for example.  By that year, I also hope that there will still be houses left in Santiago. I would like to think of a future where the neighborhood and neighborhood life continue to be a central part of social life and where the large vertical ghettos have been displaced along with the real estate companies that speculate with the price of land. I also believe that in the future we will be living in a plurinational state that recognizes and protects native peoples. Thus, my son will be able to live a life free of violence because of his Mapuc...

  Hi everyone, today I'm going to tell you a little bit about the series I watch in my free time. Right now I'm watching Seinfeld on Netflix. It has 9 seasons, over 100 episodes and is the most vivid picture of everything not to be and do in life, but in a comedic way, which makes it an ironic and very good sitcom. I'm on season 8! Also, I usually watch videos of youtubers. The one I like the most is called 'Te lo resumo', which is a channel dedicated to summarize the plots of movies and series in a funny way. The best video of the whole channel is undoubtedly the one of the Fast and Furious saga.I leave the link in case you want to see it, it is a 20 minute laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkr5hsazoEM&ab_channel=Teloresumo I usually watch Netflix for the convenience and because it has no ads. Also, I watch a lot of Youtube because they are short videos, no more than 15 minutes and that makes it possible to distract me while I'm working. Avatar, the Le...

  Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about my career and professional dreams and goals. I study political science and I have always wanted to be able to dedicate myself to academic work. Working in research and teaching are dreams that I have had for years, even before I studied political science. I feel that in this way I contribute to the creation of knowledge that tributes to the history of social movements that have paved the way for transformations in Chile and Latin America.  Currently I work as a transcriber and I have occasionally participated in some research projects and I have had a great time. This work is generally office-based, although it is currently done at home. Field work in this sense is related to conducting interviews, focus groups or ethnographies with individuals or communities. As an academic I could travel to different countries for congresses, lectures and talks on different topics of interest. In particular, I would like to develop on the rela...

Studying political science is interesting, but it has no labor field. In order to make my way in the job market, I need to study for a master's degree. My first option is to study for a continuing master's degree in political science. That way I can start the master's degree when I am in the last year of my degree.  I really like being able to study political science in depth, because that way I will be able to develop important methodological skills for academic research. My interests revolve around qualitative methods, trying to include discourse analysis as a methodological tool to understand reality and study it.  In any case, as a way of professional and academic development, I would like to study outside Chile. Whether it is Mexico, Bolivia, United Kingdom, France or Spain, I would like to be able to study a PhD in social sciences, perhaps in sociology.My interests are in the relationship between civil society movements and the state and how they impact formal and in...

  One of the concerts I remember most fondly was the "Canto para una semilla", by Violeta Parra, Luis Advis and Inti Illimani. I went to see it in 2017 at the municipal theater with my girlfriend.  The concert was a tribute to Violeta Parra and featured performances by Inti Illimani and Isabel Parra.  This concert is the union of Violeta Parra's biographical tenths, which was modified by the arrangements of Luis Advis (author of the most famous Cantata de Santa María de Iquique) and featured the original interpretation of Inti Illimani, plus the voices of Carmen Bunster and Isabel Parra.  It was a very intimate experience, even though the theater was at maximum capacity. People were excited to hear live one of the most important compositions for Advis and Inti Illimani, which vindicates Violeta's life with a staging that highlights episodes of her life such as her childhood, love, political denunciation and her death. The relationship between the instruments and the ...
