About Iria Puyosa

22 posts · joined 2005-09-12

I blog in <a href=”http://rulemanes.blogsome.com/”>Rulemanes para Telemaco</a> (Spanish) about literature, art films, information freedom, blogosphere, and social networks. My second blog, <a href=”http://resteados.blogsome.com/”>Reste@dos</a> (Sp-ES) deals with Venezuelan politics, as well as social movements in Latin America, from a democratic left viewpoint.

Currently, I am working in my PhD in the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education at the University of Michigan. My research area is social capital and inequalities in access to postsecondary education. I did my master in Organizational Communication. I used to teach courses in Social Communication and in Learning Strategies in the School of Social Work at the Central University of Venezuela (Universidad Central de Venezuela).

Previously, I worked as a consultant in mass media and public opinion. Before that I was news coordinator for Radio Fe y Alegria, a community oriented radio station in Caracas. Now, I think blogging is closer to the kind of journalism I had in mind when I started my undergraduate studies.
