Biography
Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Gdańsk, in the framework of the Horizon Europe project ‘RE-WIRING’: Realising Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation and Empowerment. In addition, I am part of the research team of the project ‘COOPERA: Beyond Conflict: Effectiveness of Cooperation for Social Change’. I have participated in several projects, including: ‘Alliance processes in coping with threats to identity and perceived control (ALIADXS)’ (REF: PID2019-111549GB-I00) and ‘Hierarchization and social distance: two psychosocial mechanisms generated by economic inequality’ (REF: PID2019-105643GB-I00). My doctoral thesis focuses on the role of social class identity in the context of economic inequality, addressing wealth-based intergroup relations, intolerance towards economic inequality and collective actions to confront it. Furthermore, my main research interests revolve around the mobilising potential of politicised identity and its multiple capacity from an intersectional perspective, considering aspects such as gender, LGBTIQA+ membership or social class.
Main interests
- Psychosocial consequences and reduction of economic inequality
- Politicized Social Class Identity: New/Emerging/Traditional
- Processes of struggle against economic inequality: confrontation and collective actions (political participation and activism)
- Intersectionalities and intra-minority solidarity
