I earned my doctorate in sociological demography from the Department of Sociology at Stockholm University in December 2021.

Research

  • My research focuses on the intersection of violence, social inequality, and health dynamics, with an emphasis on reproductive rights and gender-based violence in Latin America. My primary research line focuses on the impact of armed conflict and violent crime on sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. I also study attitudes toward sexual and reproductive health and rights. More broadly, I am interested in social determinants of population health. For more information, see my website:
