Hi! I'm a political sociologist completing my PhD at the Freie Universität Berlin in the Institute of Sociology and Latin America Institute.
I am a Chilean doctoral researcher specializing in political sociology, far-right studies, and Latin American politics. My work focuses on the intersection of elite radicalization, temporal politics, and transnational political movements, with particular expertise in qualitative research methods and comparative analysis between Europe and Latin America.
My PhD thesis focuses on the discursive strategies of Chilean far-right elites following the 2019 Estallido, under the supervision of Professors Renata C. Motta and Sergio Costa. My research employs advanced qualitative methods including in-depth interviews with hard-to-reach participants, ethnographic fieldwork, and discourse analysis to understand how political actors construct temporal narratives as mechanisms of radicalization and legitimation.
My research interests encompass political sociology, relational sociology, qualitative social research methodology, Latin American studies, political polarization, and transnational social movements. I have conducted fieldwork across multiple countries including Chile, Germany, the UK, and Brazil, building expertise in navigating complex and sometimes hostile research environments.
I am fluent in Spanish (native), English (C2), and have intermediate German skills (B1.1). My commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and cross-regional research drives my engagement with international scholarly communities and my dedication to producing research that bridges academic knowledge with practical applications for democratic institutions.
