His doctoral research is in thanatology: the scientific and humanistic study of death and dying in a cross-cultural perspective and in the context of the México-U.S. borderlands. Villa is a community-recognized curandero (meaning "healer," a practitioner of curanderismo) who learned his healing arts from a family lineage dating back to pre-colonial Mexico; from a 13-year apprenticeship with local curandera Doña Patricia Federico; and from master curanderas, curanderes, curanderos, Conjure Doctors, Indigenous medicine people, and other traditional healing experts from all over Mexico, the U.S., Central America, and the Caribbean. When not in school or working on CAHAM and SDCPS matters, Villa enjoys gardening, hiking, making traditional Mexican and Chicano folk art, playing music, falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes, and talking to plants, rocks, bones in the desert.Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Arizona Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities, this and all other installments of the CAHAM curanderismo workshop series is free and open to the public!
