A Zapotec woman originally from San Juan Atepec, in the District of Ixtlán de Juárez, State of Oaxaca, Mexico. She studied Sociology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco and a Master’s degree in Sociology at the Universidad Iberoamericana-Campus Ciudad de México. Her interest in issues such as the formation of the Mexican state and economic and social inequality began to take shape, to later be outlined through dialogue and walking together with other sisters and brothers, colleagues and compañeras, in a more measured study of racism, nation states and Indigenous peoples.
She has written various articles and given conferences, workshops and classes related to the topics of racism, the state, women and Indigenous peoples.
Among her writings are:
Bautista Pérez, Judith, “Pueblos indígenas y racismo cotidiano”, Revista de la Universidad, UNAM, September 2020, pp. 88-91.
Bautista Pérez, Judith, “El relato de lo cotidiano y la transmisión de la vida comunitaria”, Tema y Variaciones de Literatura, no. 47, semester II of 2016, UAM-A, pp. 49-55.
Bautista, Pérez; Judith. “Espacios de lucha contra el racismo. Mujeres y vida cotidiana”. In Georgina Méndez Torres, Juan López Intzín, Sylvia Marcos and Carmen Osorio Hernández (Coord.).

She was a member of the Red-Interdisciplinaria de Investigadores de los Pueblos Indios de México, A.C. (Red-Iinpim), and is a collaborator of the Centro Profesional Indígena de Asesoría, Defensa y Traducción, Asociación Civil (CEPIADET, A.C.) and the Asamblea de Mujeres Indígenas de Oaxaca (AMIO), which has allowed her to establish communication with other Indigenous thinkers who, like her, are in a constant search for statements, sentences or motives that make them continue weaving their lives.
