During five weeks she lectured at the department of Social Studies, did field work for the case study about housing rights in CDMX, volunteered for documenting  Internet in a Box project  with Adam Holt in Chiapas schools and spoke at the International Symposium Ciudades cohesionadas: co-crear agendas urbanas incluyentes.  Here she presented a paper entitled The experience of Community Centers and the right to the city,  discussing the role of living archives and community museums in defying the spatial stigmatisation of disadvantaged areas.
