Women PeaceMakers Fellow Estefanía Castañeda Pérez will discuss a topic of her choice for this lunch lecture hosted by the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice. 

Estefanía Castañeda Pérez is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Southern California (USC). Her research investigates how Latinx communities experience the law through policing and surveillance systems, and the consequences of these experiences on their racialization, well-being, and legal consciousness. She has been active in advocating for migrant and transborder communities by providing expert training on the transborder experience at local and national academic and government agencies. She also developed a Community Action Project aimed at empowering Transfronteriza women through RISE San Diego’s Urban Leadership Fellowship.
