Legal education in Venezuela and academic recognition of his university qualification in Spain.
Research and education in environmental law associated with the University of the Basque Country (EHU).
Books, chronicles and articles in publications and publicly accessible media.
Fieldwork experience and writing across parts of the Americas and Europe.
Services concern research, education and public engagement, not a claim to authorization to practise law in Spain.

Mexico City · 2024

Héctor Ángel Ibarra Chávez

Mexican researcher associated with the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH), known for studies of history, anthropology of religions and liberation theology. The author dates their encounter in Mexico to 2024 and recalls his hospitality in the preface to the second edition of Claveles para un entierro cualquiera.

Encounter reported by the authorPublic background and source · ENAH ↗

Archive note: the meeting dates and places come from the author. The linked references establish public professional biographies, not attendance at a shared event. No formal collaboration or institutional endorsement is implied. Photographs will be associated only after provenance is confirmed.

The contemporary archive dates the FILVEN discussion to 15 March 2014 and the Ciudad Lozada book presentation to 30 March. The later 2025 preface also references FILVEN 2015; this chronological distinction is retained for further verification.
