In her doctorate she investigated the interaction between gender inequalities and rurality experienced by women in extractive contexts and their impact on daily life in love, work and parenthood because she believes that we have to look at everyday life and gendered subjectivities.
Her inspiration lies in the possibility of co-creating spaces and playful-pedagogical experiences and reinterpretation of individual and collective histories that transform the asymmetrical power relations that women live in daily life as a result of urban-rural, gender and racial inequalities.
