Presenting at CIES 2025 in Chicago

This March, I had the opportunity to co-organise and present in a formal panel at the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) annual conference in Chicago: Continuities & Disruptions: Exploring Historical Traces and Contemporary Legacies in Latin American Education (Sunday, March 23, 9:45–11:00 am, Palmer House, Clark 10).

My paper, Historical Debts and Digital Inequalities: The Experiences of First-Generation Women in Public Higher Education in Brazil and England in the Twenty-First Century, examined how long-standing educational debts intersect with contemporary digital divides, shaping the experiences of first-generation women in elite public universities.

I was honoured to co-organise this session with Rocío Fernández Ugalde, María Fernanda Rodríguez, and Bruna Dalmaso-Junqueira with Maria Teresa Rojas Fabris. Together, our research traced teacher policies in Chile, historic public/private enclosures in Peru, and the rearticulation of neoliberalism and conservatism in Brazil and Chile.
