Ph.D. in History, University of Miami (Coral Gables), FL, EUA. Postdoctoral fellow at University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), MI, EUA. Lecturer in the Department of Historical Sciences, Faculdade de Filosofia e Humanidades, Universidade do Chile. Director of the Center for Cultural History, Department of Historical Sciences, Universidade do Chile. My specialty is contemporary Latin American history with an emphasis on gender and historiography theory. My research areas are related to gender-politics, gender-intrafamily violence, and gender-theory. Currently, I am working on parliamentary and presidential votes in which women voted for the first time in Chile until 1973, examining voting patterns in terms of gender, political tendency, and social sectors, aiming to address the political culture of men and women in Chile at that time. Simultaneously, I conduct theoretical research exploring how presentism, The narrative and the concept of contemporaneity are interrelated when approaching history from a present-time perspective, allowing us to understand how we construct our understanding of current reality, as it is presented and how it may influence the future. Furthermore, through a critical lens, it is analyzed how the representation of the present and its constant reinterpretation modify the way we build, narrate, and comprehend our historical reality, challenging traditional notions of linear history and opening new ways to tell the past, the present, and the future. Regarding the history of the present (HTP) and its disciplinary boundaries, I focus primarily on the relationship between HTP and the acceleration of time, narration, and contemporaneity.
