Research Services

I offer interdisciplinary research services grounded in over a decade of experience in ethnography, sociology, and visual methods, with a particular focus on the Global South. My work combines rigorous academic inquiry with applied field experience in complex and high-risk environments.

Migration, Violence, and Border Studies

Expertise in analyzing human mobility, organized crime, humanitarian systems, and governance in contexts of migration, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean

Ethnographic Research Design and Fieldwork

Design and implementation of qualitative and mixed-methods research projects, including long-term immersive ethnography, participant observation, in-depth interviews, and multi-sited fieldwork in urban and border contexts.

Support in qualitative data analysis, coding, interpretation, and capacity-building through workshops, courses, and mentoring in research methodologies.

Data Analysis and Qualitative Methods Training

Experience working with humanitarian and institutional actors (e.g., Red Cross), contributing to the design and evaluation of migration strategies, social interventions, and development programs.

Policy-Oriented and Applied Research

Visual Ethnography and Research-Based Storytelling

Development of visual research outputs, including photography, exhibitions, and documentary narratives that translate complex social realities into accessible formats for wider audiences.

Analysis of urban violence, racial inequality, informal economies, and social exclusion, with a strong empirical and theoretical foundation.
