I am Assistant Professor of Political Science at the Department of Social and Political Science, Universidad Católica del Uruguay. I obtained my Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2012). I am also Founding Chair at the Department of Social and Political Science at Univiersidad Católica del Uruguay (2012-2016).
My work focuses on the political economy of redistribution and inequality. I am particularly interested in the study of comparative capitalisms, skills formation, welfare provision and the dynamics of distribution. My work appears, among other places, in Economics & Politics, Latin American Research Review, CEPAL Review, Revista de Ciencia Política, Revista Reforma y Democracia, The Oxford Handbook of the Welfare States, and The International Handbook of Urban Education.

MAIN CURRENT PROJECTS & NEWS
Skill Regimes in Latin America
This project, in collaboration with Aldo Madariaga (Universidad Diego Portales & COES) focuses on the supply and demand of skills in Latin America, a heavily under-analysed topic. We compare the provision and level of skills in Latin America with those of advanced economies, and identify skills regimes in the region. Drawing on the growing comparative political economy of skills literature, we seek to understand the relation between these skill regimes and patterns of inequality and economic specialization. The project offers a first comprehensive characterization of skills regimes in a region characterized by low-skills, low-productivity and high-inequality.

The new middle class in Uruguay
The project, in collaboration with María José Álvarez Rivadulla (Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia), Rosario Queirolo (UCU) and Cecilia Rossel (UCU), aims to analyze the trajectories and valuations, attitudes and behaviors of three cohorts of middle classes in Montevideo. Although the country has an extensive evidence on the evolution of inequality and social stratification, almost no research exists on how the trajectory paths, inequality and stratification result in the way Uruguayans perceive themselves in terms of class. Our research contributes to filling this gap by unveiling how and why these perceptions have been changing during the last 50 years.

Book Project: Comparative Capitalisms in Latin America
This project reveals the coalitional dynamics that give rise to varied paths of integration into the global economy in emerging market economies by comparing Latin America with Mediterranean Europe. The distributive conflict between labor, business and the state, accounts for the main distinction between models of capitalism. Although a rich tradition on the study of models of capitalism has developed in the last quarter of century, the scholarship has not engaged primarily in Latin America or in comparative accounts between this region and Europe or North America.
