About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To contribute to build a fairer world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a professor of political science at one of the most important universities in Mexico. I think I have a lot of vitality. I studied political science (this is not to become a politician but to understand politics) because I think it is possible to change this unfair and unjust world. Because of that, I consider myself as a combination of idealistic and pragmatic principles. Yes, "another world is possible" and we have to work very hard in order to achieve it. I love football and every day I practice sports, but also I'm a party guy. In sum, I love life (which I understand it is not perfect), and I work every day to try to change the world.

PHILOSOPHY

This world could be better, let's do it. The best way to really know a city or a place is when you interact with someone living there... No official tourist info will be better than this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any kind of books on social sciences: politics, sociology, philosophy. In fact my job is reading and writing.

Novels from all over the world. For instance I'm finishing this days: "Il Gattopardo" of Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa. I don't know, maybe tomorrow I will read "Die Blechtrommel" of Günter Grass.

Music: One of my non developed passions. I enjoy almost any kind of music, from Reggae or lounge to metal or rock.

Movies: Not hollywood, particularly I enjoy european or latin american ones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eat scorpions in China, diving in a Volcano lake...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my writings. They are in books and reviews but they are always 'dinamyc documents' because I want to be criticized, debated. I really want to hear from other experiences to nourish my spirit.
