About

Kamil Gerónimo-López is an Afrolatina of Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage whose work connects pedagogy, design, and participatory research. She works across languages, cultures, and communities, and speaks Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Her multilingualism allows her to build bridges through educational design, facilitation, and collaborative inquiry.

As an autistic scholar and designer, she embraces neurodivergence as part of her creative method. It shapes the way she reads systems, imagines alternatives, and designs participatory learning environments that support collective action and collective meaning making.

Kamil earned her PhD in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education, with a dual degree in Comparative and International Education, from Penn State University. She also holds a master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Puerto Rico. Her work is grounded in Popular Education, Participatory Research, Design Based Learning, Systemic Literacies, and Imaginative Praxis.

Through CPR Curriculum Design, Curriculum, Praxis, Reimagination, she creates pedagogical tools, curriculum frameworks, games, facilitation systems, and community based educational experiences that help people engage ideas through participation, reflection, and action.

Kamil is the founder of Pueblo Crítico and The People’s Imaginarium.
