PhD in Anthropology (2014, University of Toronto), MA in Archaeology (2007, Trent University), Archaeologist (2003, University of Chile), and BA in Anthropology with a specialization in Archaeology (2001, University of Chile).
Dr. Jofré joined the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chile in 2019. She served as Program Director (2021–2022), Head of Outreach and Engagement (2022–2024), and is currently (from 2024 to present) the Department of Anthropology’s representative to the Faculty (Undergraduate School). Her academic trajectory is oriented toward public, collaborative archaeology with communities, with the aim of implementing new social research methodologies that directly involve living cultures in the co-construction of the past.
She was a researcher in the Andean Networks Arica-Carangas research program (2018–2022) and served on the international organizing committee for the IX Meeting of Archaeological Theory in South America (TAAS), held in 2020 in Oaxaca, Mexico.
She has specialized in working with Aymara and Quechua communities in the Collasuyu/South-Central Andes area, where the national borders of Chile, Peru, and Bolivia intersect, and she also has experience working with Mapuche communities in Araucanía/Wallmapu. Her most recent publications address topics such as heritage and Indigenous communities, environmental policies and climate change, oral memory and technology, auto-ethnographic writing, and decolonial methodologies.
