Topic: Person in you field that you admire
The person I admire is the anthropologist Sonia Montecino. His contributions are related to important aspects of the discipline that have a strong relationship with our country. They are crossbreeding, gastronomy, gender and coloniality. This aspects are worked trought literature and anthropology in different books, my favourites are "Madres y huachos" and "la olla deleitosa".Sonia Montecino was born in 1954 and studied literature and anthropology at the University of Chile. She has been one of the most important female figures in the social sciences in recent times, carrying out various research and contributions to the anthropological tradition of Chile and also working as a teacher. I admire Sonia, because she has provided an enriching tradition of books that give anthropologists new perspectives and critiques of aspects that are in Chile as well as Latin America.
