Research

Research & editing profile

 

I am a photographer, filmmaker, and anthropologist, specializing in documentary production for the human rights, humanitarian, and development sectors.

My research is anchored in feminist and decolonial methodologies, and examines the ways that images and approaches to their use participate in social change. I am particularly attentive to questions of voice and narrative in filmic and photographic practice.

 

In this capacity, I apply my research on the question of images and the social worlds in which they operate to my editorial work.

Presently, I am completing a Phd in the Department of Anthropology and Sociology at the Geneva Graduate Institute. My dissertation examines the socio-political dynamics surrounding the emergence and circulation of the menstrual cup in Colombia.
