Journalist (2005, TEA), M.A. in Anthropology and Slavonic Studies from the Universidad de Buenos Aires and the University of Leipzig (2012), holds a Ph.D. in Latin American History University of Leipzig (2017).
Currently, I am working on the Post-Doc project “Policemen’s writing cultures and state-building in Argentina and Mexico (1880-1900)”. The research’s preliminary results were published in the bilingual volume Making Modern Police in Latin America: Beiträge zur Geschichte der Polizeien im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert (2020 Leipzig). My research interests include the study of violence, spatialization practices of subaltern actors, and modern statehood forms in Latin America. On a conceptual level, I tackle central issues of the sociology of order, mobility and migration studies, and interdisciplinary work challenges.
