Cyt expertise: 
Throughout my research career I have devoted myself to Gender Studies from an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, dealing with different phenomena of gender inequality, especially gender-motivated violence in Argentina and in Our America region. For this reason, I commited myself to the reconstruction of an epistemic, decolonized and feminist genealogy of Our America, to the construction of a feminist, local theoretical line and to the approach of gender-motivated violence in its intersection with class and race. In the last decade I have delved into feminist studies of masculinity and the research on the link between gender-motivated violence, neoliberalism and selective punitivism.

Current research project/program: 
Inequalities and intersectional violence: decolonizing feminisms to approach their relation with hegemonic masculinity.
