Abstract

The text presents an interview conducted with Victoria Castro Rojas in the context of the first podcast dedicated to anthropology in Chile, A campo traviesa [Cross-country]. After an introduction where two aspects of Castro Rojas' work are highlighted -overcoming the relevant monodisciplinary research scheme and using an ad hoc tone to influence non-academic audiences- the interview is presented. Interweaving personal and professional dimensions, it unfolds in three sections. The first addresses her beginnings in the academic world and the impact of the Dictatorship; the second discusses her research, focused on areas in northern Chile; finally, aspects of teaching, current situation, and her present work and future projects are considered, interrupted by her passing in June 2022.
