RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: DR GERALDINE LUBLIN, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, MODERN LANGUAGES Dr Geraldine Lublin leads research that explores the implications of Settler Colonial Theory and collaborate with indigenous communities to reflect on their experiences and contribute to theoretical discussions. Moreover, the research champions digital innovation through the ‘Orígenes’ platform, developed in collaboration with indigenous communities, as a means of empowering indigenous peoples to reclaim their heritage and collective memory. This multi-faceted approach aims to foster intercultural dialogue and promote heritage recovery in Patagonia. In the pursuit of intercultural understanding and justice, Indigenous resurgence has gained momentum worldwide in recent decades, with formal recognition of indigenous rights standing as a significant achievement. International instruments like the International Labour Organisation Convention 169 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples have marked crucial milestones in this journey. This progress intersects with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and holds particular relevance in the Patagonian region of Argentina. This region has played a distinctive role in Argentina’s nation-building process, impacting both indigenous and non-indigenous populations.
