Resumen del perfil
Doctoral Candidate in Anthropology at York University, Canada, with a Master's degree in Cultural Studies and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science with emphasis in History and Journalism, both from Universidad de los Andes, Colombia.
Her doctoral research examines the gendered dimensions of Colombia's post-conflict transition, focusing specifically on how former FARC-EP women combatants navigate the search for disappeared persons. Through an anthropological lens, her work explores how these women's efforts to locate missing individuals function as both acts of care and forms of historical memory-making, challenging traditional narratives of victimhood and agency in transitional justice processes.
Her interdisciplinary background bridges anthropology, cultural studies, and political science, positioning her research at the intersection of feminist scholarship, peace studies, and Latin American studies. Her work contributes to broader conversations about women's roles in post-conflict societies, the politics of memory, and the everyday practices through which communities reconstruct meaning in the aftermath of conflict.
