New INTERSECT fellow Daniela Villegas

Daniela Villegas is a journalist, feminist and social researcher with a PhD in Gender and Cultural Studies from the University of Sydney.

She investigates the intersection of cultural history, feminist activisms, pop culture representations in the media, and gender and politics. Her latest research has focused on the construction of feminist identities from young urban working-class female activists in the periphery of Mexico City. Specifically, how identities and through them, visual activism, emerges to denounce feminicide (the murder of women because of their gender), and the fight to access abortion. Latin America, its women, and feminist movements are one of her regional areas of expertise.
