Cyt expertise:
For more than 20 years, and as part of the research group "El llano en llamas".Her line of specialization has been social conflict and political subjectivities in the context of the forms and dynamics of capitalism in peripheral societies of the Global South. Even though her latest studies focus on the particularities of environmental conflicts in the country and the region, the linkage and comparison of this type of struggles with other sectorial conflicts is one of her current lines of work. Particularly, during 2024 and 2025 she has been working in two directions: on the one hand, on a Marxist approach to public policies to recognize their effects on mutations and changes in social and environmental inequality; on the other hand, she has initiated studies on political subjectivities in popular sectors and their dispositions in relation to democracy.
