She joined the research group in 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher to work on the international comparative project Science and Religion: Exploring the Spectrum of Global Perspectives, which examined the relationships between science and religion across different cultural contexts. Since then, she has continued collaborating with the group on research projects focusing on religion, science, gender, sexual diversity, and health.

 

Originally from Mexico, she completed her master's and doctoral studies at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Her doctoral dissertation in Sociology received the Best Doctoral Dissertation in Social Sciences Award from the Network of Researchers of the Religious Phenomenon in Mexico (RiFReM). As part of her academic career, she has undertaken research stays in Argentina, Germany, the United States, and Catalonia.

 

Her research focuses on the meaning systems through which individuals make sense of the world, the processes of belief formation and social identity construction, and the theoretical and methodological approaches used to study these phenomena. From this perspective, her work has explored religious conservatism, the relationship between religion and violence, the intersections of religion, science, and gender, and contemporary controversies surrounding science, health, and religious beliefs.

 

She currently serves as Executive Secretary of the International Sociological Association (ISA), where she contributes to strengthening international scientific cooperation and supporting global research communities in sociology. Her academic work has been published by international journals and academic publishers, and she actively participates in scholarly networks dedicated to the sociology of religion and the interdisciplinary study of religion.
