Staff Profile

Marie Curie Postdoctoral fellow (UKRI funded) at Newcastle University, currently working on European institutions and Family policies. My book La administración del deseo y el gobierno de los cuerpos has just been published by the CIEG-UNAM in 2023.

Spurred by recent conflicts between parental rights and children rights, my research analyses the role and effects of European institutions on family governance. It conducts an empirical document-based study on European archives concerning family policies and sexual politics, with an emphasis on European Court of Human Rights case law, European Parliament and European Commission archives.
