Patricia Bonilla.

Patricia Bonilla is the daughter of Mexican migrants. Growing up bilingual and bicultural, she experienced the challenges and creative possibilities of navigating multilingual and multiethnic spaces. Bonilla is a doctoral candidate at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois, in the area of Christian education and congregational development. She is an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and has worked in congregational ministry since 2005, as well as in community and youth development, focusing on fostering creative and liberating educational spaces for Latinx youth.

Bonilla's research interests bring into dialogue and practice critical pedagogies, decolonial theory and religious education with special attention to engagement with epistemologies of the South and pluriversal ecologies of knowledge. She is interested in how to educate holistically. As a practical theologian, she is keenly aware of the political, epistemological and cultural implications of education, specifically education for liberation and conscientization.
