sociology. history. political economy. 

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology and Historical Studies at The New School for Social Research. My research interests include capitalist development, social protests, and everyday state (un)making in Latin America from the twentieth century to the present, focusing on Colombia. I take an interdisciplinary approach and integrate social and political theory and the material history of capitalism in my research work. 

In the spring of 2024, I will be the Teaching Assistant for the graduate course Historical Sociology, taught by Professor Jack Jin Gary Lee at the New School for Social Research. During the 2021-22 academic year, I was a Graduate Fellow in the Mellon-funded Sawyer Seminar “Currency, Empire, Monetary Policy, Race and Power,” and the Janey Program in Latin American Studies. Prior to that, I was a fellow at the Heilbroner Center for Capitalism Studies. 

I hold an M.A. in Social Science with a specialization in Sociology from El Colegio de México. I earned my Bachelors degree in Sociology from Universidad Javeriana and in Economics from Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia.
