As part of our fundraising activities for our Wixarika Scholarship Fund, on Friday March 15, 2024, Kiayerima Marissa López Martínez will be speaking with us about her research and analysis on women’s community level political participation in Wixarika territory. Originally from Wautia, San Sebastián Teponohuaxtlán, Kiayerima holds her undergraduate degree in law and a masters in Feminist Studies and Intervention from the Center for Higher Studies of Mexico and Central America in San Cristóbal, Chiapas.

The Wixarika Research Center cordially invites the public to our annual programming to raise money for our scholarship program for Wixarika undergraduate students. Since 2018, we have supported more than 60 students from different programs of study and communities. This panel brings together three Wixarika youth who benefited from our scholarship program: Carlos Carrillo, Hermelindo López, and Alma Robles. The conversation will be moderated by Juan Aurelio Carrillo Ríos from the Autonomous University of Nayarit. Live translation to English will be provided by WRC's Diana Negrín.
