Carla Quiroz

I am a qualitative social science researcher, and my research interests are around gender and social movements, particularly in my doctoral project, I explore how Chilean feminism has been mobilised through the relation with institutional politics. I look at how feminists activists and autonomous feminists organisations draw upon when constructing their life stories, how they produce agreements within organisation, and how their goals and demands can be translated in radical and revolutionary changes.

Key research interests include:

• Social movements
• Partisanship and political detachment
• Feminist social movement
• Crisis of representativeness
