Episode 12: Interview with Karina Pacheco, Anthropologist and Writer from Cusco

2026-03-12

In this episode of Diálogos con Gisela, we speak with Karina Pacheco, an anthropologist with a PhD, editor, and writer from Cusco.

From San Francisco, we reflect on Peru through the lens of her novels, human rights, and the journey of Counter-Pedagogies of Oblivion (Contrapedagogías del olvido)—sowing seeds of memory along the way.

A conversation about literature, memory, and the ways storytelling can help us confront the past, resist forgetting, and keep collective memory alive.
