Biography
Ivana María Alochis was born on January 17, 1962, in Villa Fontana, Córdoba, to Rodolfo Alochis and Élida Novarino. Her upbringing in the countryside inspired her to write one of her books, “Warmi, yo soy mía”. She graduated from the secondary school San Francisco de Asís in 1978. She married Miguel Ángel Rodriguez in 1986, and they had two daughters and a son, Vanina Rodríguez, Rocío Rodríguez and Facundo Rodríguez. In 1986 Alochis graduated from Universidad Nacional de Córdoba with a licentiate degree in Spanish Language and Literature, as well as a Teaching Degree in Spanish for Secondary Education and Higher Education. In the year 2015, she obtained a doctoral degree in gender and sexuality studies from Centro de Estudios Avanzados (FSC-UNC) [Faculty of Social Sciences, National University of Córdoba.].

Career
Alochis began her teaching career in 1983 at Escuela Superior de Comercio Manuel Belgrano. After she obtained her university degree, Alochis began her career as a professor at the Faculty of Languages from National University of Córdoba. She teaches Spanish Language in BA Translation, BA Teaching English, German, Portuguese and Italian as a Foreign Language and licentiates in the respective languages. In 2008, she began teaching Spanish Lexicology, Lexicography and Contrastive Principles for the BA in Spanish Education at the National University of Córdoba. She has dictated several training courses which include Oral Tradition and Mythology, and Spanish Normative and Grammar at the Faculty of Philosophy and Humanities (UNC), and Journalistic Normative for the editors and writers of the provincial newspaper “La Voz del Interior”. Alochis is the director of her independent, self-managed publishing “Ediciones El Rescoldo” founded in 2003, where she publishes her books. Alochis published her first book “Diccionario Temático de Adivinanzas: Tomo I Animales” in 2003 in collaboration with her daughter, Vanina Rodríguez. This book is a thematic dictionary of riddles, and is the first book in a series of four books. Her most recent book is the fourth of the series, called “Diccionario Temático de Adivinanzas: Tomo IV Naturaleza y astros.” She has also written poetry books and Spanish manuals.

Contributions to women rights movement
Alochis has devoted her work to investigate and divulge the impact of language as a tool for women’s oppression. As the final work for her doctoral degree in gender and sexuality studies from Centro de Estudios Avanzados of the UNC she chose to analyze how the murders of girls and women were reported on Cordoba’s printed media. As part of her investigation, she analyzed published articles from 1983 to 2013 from the lexical and syntactic point of view. Her conclusions shed light onto how sexual abuse and assault against women are hidden or smooth. She establishes that “Journalists are also responsible for spreading awareness about violence against women. They need to call it like it is, without sugar coating it or using metaphors: abuse is abuse and it should be reported accordingly.”

Contributions to gender-neutral language
Both as a professor and as a public figure, Alochis advocates for the use of gender inclusive language. She has been quoted in several articles defending the changes towards a more inclusive use of the Spanish language and criticizing the recent bans on the use of gender-neutral Spanish in academic environments. She states that the “linguistic exclusion mirrors the societal exclusion” and therefore any efforts towards a less exclusionary use of the language should be encouraged.
