Research
My main interests are political sociology, urban studies, and stratification, with a special focus on Latin America. My research centers on the experiences of grassroots activists and the relation between social movements and the state. I have worked extensively with community organizations in different provinces of Argentina. I am currently writing a book about public views on political repression.
