Overview


I am a Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. During fieldwork, I worked as a research intern at the Grupo de Prisiones, Facultad de Derecho, La Universidad de los Andes. My background is in Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies (BA, Grinnell College, 2012) and in Latin American Studies (MA, Tulane University, 2018). My present research focuses on prisons, decarceration and justice in Colombia. Other interests include: affect studies, feminisms, trans studies, anthropology of the law, and translation.
