This paper is a self-reflexive exercise undertaken by the author concerning his path as a university professor and academic researcher in Communication Studies for the last five decades. It assumes that no individual path can be isolated, since history implies recognizing the mutually determining intersections with others and with multi-scale institutional frameworks. Any academic autobiography is necessarily a reconstruction of collective bonds with peers and with institutional contexts situated in specific times and spaces—in this case, Latin America, especially Mexico and Brazil.
