Biography
I’m a PhD student at the University of Almería. I’m currently hired in the project «Alliance processes in coping with threats to identity and perceived control (ALIADXS)» (REF: PID2019-111549GB-I00). My research currently focuses on the study of alliance processes from the perspectives of ethnic minorities (migrants and Roma people) and the advantaged social group in Spain (native and non-Roma people). Thus, I also try to analyze the factors related to these, such as multiculturalism, prejudice, inequality and social identity. My thesis focuses on the study of anti-gypsyism and participation in collective actions to stop the inequality suffered by Roma people in Spain.
