Kamil Gerónimo-López is an Afrolatina of Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage whose work connects pedagogy, design, and research. She works across languages, cultures, and communities, and speaks Spanish, English, and Portuguese. She uses her multilingualism to build bridges in her teaching, scholarship, and design practice.
 

As an autistic scholar, she embraces her neurodivergence as part of her creative method. It shapes the way she reads systems, imagines alternatives, and designs participatory learning environments that support collective action.
 

Kamil earned her PhD in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education with a dual degree in Comparative and International Education from Penn State University. She also holds a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Puerto Rico. Her work centers Popular Education, Systemic Literacies, Participatory Research, Imaginative Praxis, and Design-Based Learning, bringing them into conversation with grassroots organizing and visual strategy.
 

She creates pedagogical tools, curriculum frameworks, games, and community-based research practices that help people make meaning together. Her work supports educators, organizers, and communities who are building knowledge toward social change.
 

Kamil is the founder of Pueblo Crítico and The People’s Imaginarium.
