Blog post 4 - A photograph you like


I took this photo in February this year, on a backpacking trip to southern Chile and Argentina. The photo shows a lagoon at the foot of a glacier called Vinciguerra, located in Ushuaia, Tierra del fuego. The lagoon had a beutiful esmerald color and we were able to walk around it until we reached the glacier.

I really like this photo because it reminds me of a very important moment and experience for me. In the first place, it was the first trip that I have made alone to go this far, since Ushuaia is the second southernmost city in the world. Also, getting that place was very difficult, it was a great physical and mental challenge, but arriving and enjoying the place was incredible. Also, the dog that appears in the photo accompanied us all the way, throughout the day. That's why I love that “cream cheese”, which was the name we gave the dog because we were very hungry, appeared in the photo.

This photo is a beautiful reminder, especially in a pandemic since we are locked up, of the beautiful places in the world that I want to visit and know.

    I would love to travel down there. I was planning to go this summer, but I'm not sure I will be able to. Are there a lot of different hikes to choose from in that area?

Second Blog - My favourite piece of technology

I dont really remember when or how I got it. I only know that I have had it for several years ago. At first I didnt really like using it, actually I hardly ever used it because I was never very interested. That changed this year that I had to use it more than ever so I was forced to learn how to use it. I have it in a fixed place in my room, on my desk. I try not to move it a lot because it is a bit old so I try to take care of it as much as possible. I also have some accessories that allow me to take advantage of it a lot and use it every day for many different activities. That's what I like the most about this object, that when I'm using it, I don't need anything else, not even my cell phone. This is because I can do everything there, talk to people, surf the internet, watch classes and even entertain myself. Since the pandemic began, I can no longer imagine my life without it. I think it is a great tool that allows me to do many things that I like anywhere and at any tim

First Blog - Why you chose this career?

Why I chose this career? I never really knew what to study very well, in reality I have always liked many very different options, so I went through many stages where I said a different career. The year that defined everything for me was the last year of school. I had planned to study renewable natural resources engineering because I was interested in the environment. Then I participated in a social project with low-income migrant children and I realized how necessary it is to generate social change and impact in the communities. That's when the Sociology option appeared for me, but it was difficult because I was preparing the PSU of science and not the history one that was the one I needed. Finally, due to the social outbreak, fortunately I was still assigned a history score even though I did not take the test so I was able to apply for sociology at the University of Chile. My experience at the university has been very different from what I expected. I never imagined that I would

Third blog - A person or expert in your field that you admire

One of the people I most admire in the field of social science is Julieta Kirkwood. She was a Chilean sociologist and political scientist who is considered one of the mothers of the feminist movement in Chile. She was born in 1937, in his youth he studied at the University of Chile and later she belonged to the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences. She finally passed away in 1985, at just 49 years old due to cancer. Kirkwood developed the theory of gender, doing a sociological study on the role of women, their rights and spaces. In short, the sociologist gave a theoretical framework to chilean feminism, through important works such as "Being politics in Chile" and "Feminaries". She was also the founder of the "Women's Study Centers" and then of "La morada" which sought to be a center for the provision of feminist thought and action. One of the things that I most admire about her is that she had a revolutionary spirit and created meet
