Research Interests

Being a citizen of a low-income country with a still immature system regarding the rights of minorities, international policies that facilitate the growth of societies towards a truly equal and respectful coexistence, are certainly needed. Consequently, the research lines that coincide with her professional experience, background, and even her origin are the ones related to international inclusive education, policies in education, and human rights. For the dissertation she is interested in researching different aspects of higher education in marginalized populations in Peru.
