Biography
Eric currently resides in Valle de Bravo, two hours west of Mexico City, where they're originally from. Whilst studying highschool in the United States, they became engaged in social movements, particularly with the cooperative movement and with alternative economies more broadly. Ever since, they've been dedicated to the construction, connection, and strengthening of self-managed organizations as a life project and as a political venture. They graduated from Sociocracy For All's first on line training, where they first encountered sociocracy. Eric sees sociocracy as a handy tool in the development of self-managed organizations, but also as part of a radical cultural shift: learning to relate to one another in emancipatory and anti-oppressive fashion, as peers. They like to think that the success of our species relies on good teamwork, and therefore aspires to get to know, practice, and spread the best praxis for collaboration. With inclinations towards the humorous and a strong commitment to liberation, Eric holds sociocracy workshops in the Valley of México, and is co-translator of the sociocracy manual Many Voices One Song. Eric is currently studying at Universidad del Medio Ambiente (UMA) in Valle de Bravo, where they are getting familiar with the practice of weaving. Some of Eric's main interests are: popular pedagogies, gender and queer theory, philosophy, systems thinking, creative storytelling and ultimate frisbee.
