Postdoctoral Researcher at the Millennium Nucleus Data Justa. Her research examines the intersections between data, social justice, and human rights through the study of femicide/feminicide in Chile and Colombia.
PhD in Human and Social Sciences from the National University of Colombia, with a master’s degree in Social Studies of Science and professional training in Psychology and Sociology, her trajectory is situated at the intersection of knowledge, technology, and society. Her work seeks to understand how infrastructures and sociotechnical practices shape rights, recognition, and possibilities for transformation for historically marginalized groups.
She has studied the reincorporation of former combatants in Colombia through sociomaterial ethnography, focusing on how objects, infrastructures, and everyday practices mediate the transition to civilian life. She has also examined the use of psychological evidence by the Constitutional Court in debates on same-sex parenting, analyzing tensions between science, law, and politics. Her transdisciplinary approach combines social theory and creative methodologies, integrating writing, art, and cultural production as forms of research and public communication of knowledge.
She is currently developing the project Infraestructuras que cuentan: datos sobre femicidio/feminicidio en Chile y Colombia, in which she examines how civil society organizations shape, challenge, and sustain data infrastructures on femicide/feminicide in dialogue and tension with the State and the media. Her research analyzes data ecologies in both countries, considering legal categories, recordkeeping systems, and collaborative practices in order to understand how data can become tools for justice and memory.
Through narrative analysis, network mapping, news analysis, prototyping, and collaborative workshops with state, civil society, and media actors, her work explores forms of data justice capable of articulating memory and state responsibility. From a feminist and science, technology, and society perspective, her research contributes to understanding data not merely as consolidated information or numbers, but as infrastructures through which responsibilities, sensitivities, and ways of pursuing justice in response to gender-based violence are negotiated.
