R. Magaly San Martin completed her doctoral studies in sociology and equity studies at OISE, University of Toronto, and teaches at Sheridan College in social work, gerontology, and social and community development, developing curricula and teaching courses from an anti-oppression perspective. She is a community worker, educator, and political activist involved in solidarity and liberation movements, as well as feminist and anti-racist movements in Toronto. Her work as a feminist led her to become involved in Latin American women’s groups confronting racism in the women’s movement and sexism in the Latin American diaspora in Canada. She has worked with grassroots organizations such as the Latin American Women’s Collective, MUJER, and the Latin American Coalition against Racism. Her work as a community worker, always intertwined with political advocacy, included actively organizing around immigrant and refugee issues, violence against women, policing, anti-poverty, and Indigenous solidarity.
