Her research seeks to understand how women’s intersectional experiences are configured through their paths to work by public transportation; and to comprehend how women’s narratives, emotions and embodied knowledges are essential for transforming the planning of urban mobilities using a social justice approach.
Drawing on the theoretical fields of urban mobility, feminist geography and body politics, she analyses the historical and geographical construction of unequal relations in the metropolis of Guadalajara and the main social, spatial and mobile dynamics that limit women´s movement and their access to workplaces, social relations and urban services.
