Presently, Kathia is researching Latin American Indigenous Languages and preparing a yearlong plan to acquire a collection of books that will benefit researchers and professors who would like to investigate the literary form, scope, and socio-cultural significance of Latin American indigenous languages and develop undergraduate course curriculum that expand the areas of diversity.
