About Me

I am an interdisciplinary social science researcher with particular expertise in anthropological and historical methods. Most of my research so far has been devoted to understanding and explaining the challenges women face within societies shaped by racism, colonialism, exclusion, violence, and conflict. Using anthropological and historical methods, my research has contributed to explain how political and social structures have shaped the economic, social, political, and daily life conditions of indigenous, poor, and neglected women.
