Spanish term or phrase: ella recala en el movimiento
These are two sentences that my client wrote mostly in English (which I edited). In the part in Spanish, I translated recala as "she focused on" but the author says that isn't what she meant: Lo usé porque la P4C no es el tema principal de su artículo, pero ella llega a él de todos modos y hace estos comentarios.

I really am not sure how to convey this idea... TIA!

In the sixth conference of the International Society for the Study of Argumentation, Sharon Jessops presented a paper on citizenship education and the teaching of argumentation in schools. En él, ella recala en el movimiento de P4C y se pregunta si los maestros are capable of doing what this program proposes.

invokes / calls upon / falls back upon / turns to


Explanation:
I believe this could be the intended meaning here. The speaker "invokes / calls upon / etc." the example of the P4C movement to both support and illustrate her arguments.
Here are some references to "recala en" used in a similar way.
