My research concerns women who organize collectively to contest gender-based oppressions and promote feminist approaches on issues pertaining to policing and surveillance, labor practices, family and care. My dissertation, Entre Nosotres: The Social and Political Spheres of Women Against Prisons, examines enactments of freedom and creative responses to the criminal justice system in Argentina by women organized in a collective that promotes self-determination and empowers networks of interdependence.
