Daniela Rosas
Daniela is a PhD Student in Religious Studies. Her research interests focus on how certain christian religiosities intertwine with the liberal normative ideal of the state in Latin American countries, and how this affects the interpretative dominant approach to understanding concepts like family, citizenship, patria (homeland) and so on. She explores this intersection between forms of christianity and secularism in this particular political, geographic and historical Latin American context, in order to understand why there is a need to re-evaluate what it consists of and the role it plays in interpreting relevant social concepts (like the ones mentioned above) and how this ends up being related to certain valuation of social and political realities that reproduce problematic discriminatory discourses like racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc.). Daniela holds a Psychology degree and a Masters Degree in Philosophy from La Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. She is advised by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd.
