Research

My collaborative, interdisciplinary research explores how institutions of gender, sexuality, age, and race shape economic and social exclusion, with a recent focus on digital infrastructures, informality, and forced migration in the post-pandemic context. Drawing on this background, I am expanding my theoretical and empirical work on informality to deepen our understanding of how class, race, gender, and migration status intersect within interconnected global economic structures.

Selected Collaborative Projects

(Contra)resistencias y Extractivismos
This project examines resistance strategies against extractivism in Ecuador and Argentina, focusing on grassroots movements and state-led counter-narratives in the digital era. Ecuador has experienced both progressive and neoliberal extractivism, leading to continued exploitation of oil and mining. Argentina broadens the analysis to include agribusiness, urban dispossession, and environmental degradation.

Transatlantic Dialogue on Security and Social Change
This collaborative initiative unites scholars and practitioners from Latin America and Europe to rethink security beyond traditional, militarised frameworks. Anchored in an interdisciplinary approach, the project explores how social inequalities, migration flows, and changing political landscapes intersect with security concerns on both sides of the Atlantic.

Blurred Borders: Informal Migration Regimes

This collaborative project examines migration along the Andean-Central America-Mexico corridor, focusing on the informal infrastructures that sustain mobility and the governance regimes that shape migrant experiences. I investigate how digital platforms, informal economies, and social networks facilitate movement while exposing migrants to new vulnerabilities, particularly along the Darién route.
