González-Uresti, Luz Araceli

Doctor of Political and Social Sciences, with a Master¿s and Bachelor¿s degree in International Relations from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). At Tecnológico de Monterrey, I serve as a faculty professor and also conduct research. My academic interests focus on the theoretical and methodological dimensions of International Relations, as well as on the analysis of Foreign Policy, Global Affairs, and International Politics. This focus is reflected in a scholarly production of over 30 book chapters and 20 articles in specialized journals. As a result of this academic output, I have been a continuous member of the National System of Researchers (SNI) of CONAHCYT since 2007. My main areas of academic expertise include global affairs, the international agenda, and processes of cooperation and conflict. I also have a strong interest in academic administration, particularly in project planning and execution. With 35 years of professional and academic experience in Mexico and abroad, I have taught courses at the undergraduate, master¿s, and doctoral levels. I have participated in more than 80 national and international conferences and am a member of several professional associations, including ISA, LASA, and AMEI. I am a member of the Doctoral Faculty in International Relations at the Universidad de La Plata, Argentina; I have taught courses in the Master¿s Program in International Relations at the Universidad de Viña del Mar, Chile; and I have served as a Visiting Professor at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. I have been part of various research groups, such as the Regionalization and International Cooperation Project, and I am currently affiliated with the GIIE Global Affairs research group. In addition, I serve as a national evaluator for CONAHCYT and as a member of the Expert Committees of CENEVAL for the International Relations examination. Beyond my teaching and research responsibilities, my professional trajectory also includes experience in the federal government sector. I was invited to join Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey Campus, in January 2000. On two occasions (2006 and 2011), I received the Award for Teaching and Research Excellence, and in 2012 I obtained the rank of Full Professor. From 2003 to 2007, I served as Director of the Bachelor¿s Program in International Relations; from July 2012 to January 2016, I was Head of the Department of International Relations and Political Science; and from January 2016 to July 2017, I served as Academic Director of the School of Business, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Furthermore, in June 2015 I was selected by the Board of Rectors and Vice Rectors as the National Discipline Leader in Social Sciences and Humanities within the Office of the Academic Vice-Provost, a role that allowed me to collaborate in the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2020, particularly within Tec21 Initiatives, as well as to coordinate the National Strategic Committee for Social Sciences and Humanities. In addition, I served as Technical Advisor for the EGEL-LRI exam of CENEVAL until 2024. I am currently a member of the Career Academic Aspects Team (EAAC) for the International Relations program, contributing to the design of the 2026 curriculum. I have also participated as a facilitator in various curriculum development teams for new learning units, and I serve as the Representative of the School of Social Sciences and Government on the Faculty Ranking Committee. Beyond academia, I coordinate the column Ventana al Mundo in El Financiero, and I contribute monthly to Newsweek on issues related to international analysis. I have been recognized twice (in 2021 and 2024) as a member of the Circle of Distinguished Professors at Tecnológico de Monterrey.
