Womens Activism and Conservative Backlash in the Southern Cone

Working alongside feminist activists, this project aims to investigate how grassroots mobilisation in the Southern Cone countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay) affects policy decisions and navigates intense gender backlash. I am also interested in right-wing counter movements and their use of social media.
