About My Library
Not much I can say other than that it reflects my professional veering from sociology, especially political sociology, to philosophy and education (without completely losing touch with my beginnings!) I have to admit to engaging in some culling of late, as shelf space is woefully inadequate...
About Me
I am the Head of a small network of three co-ed private schools in Santiago. Born and bred in Chile, I studied Law in Chile, and then Sociology in the UK and Canada.
My interests are all things educational (including technology) and Philosophy.
Location
Santiago, Chile
