Biography
I am a PhD student at the University of Almeria. I am currently work as a pre-doctoral researcher in the project Beyond Conflict: Effectiveness of Cooperation for Social Change (PID2022-141182NB-I00).
My research focuses on the study of alliance processes from the perspectives of ethnic minorities (migrants and Roma) and the advantaged social group in Spain (autochthonous and non-Roma). Thus, I also try to analyse related factors such as multiculturalism, prejudice, inequality and social identity, as well as the perception of discrimination towards these minorities. My thesis focuses on the study of anti-Gypsyism and participation in collective actions to stop the inequality suffered by Roma in Spain.
I have done a pre-doctoral stay at the Institute for Research in Social Communication in the Slovak Academy of Sciences (Slovakia).
