Biography
I obtained my Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University and Sciences Po. My professional interests include urban & rural sociology, cultural sociology, and ethnography. Within my dissertation research, I studied the dietary tastes and culinary practices of first- and second-generation immigrants in neighborhoods of Chicago and Paris.
I enjoy collaborating with colleagues and students of various backgrounds and experience levels. For instance, I have been an investigator in projects on: – social times and eating practices in Santiago and Paris; – barriers to participation in the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program in the United States; – electoral participation and human development in Mexico and Central America; – worldviews of garbage collectors in Paris; – Egyptians’ recollections of the 2011 revolution.
Lastly, I have a longstanding interest in writing for cultural, literary, and political magazines, mostly Ibero-American.
