Research
My work explores the role of gender in shaping political behavior.
By examining responses to external shocks and historical demographic shifts, I analyze how crises and large-scale disruptions can reshape political participation, trust, and economic empowerment along gender lines.
My work contributes to understanding how structural and social factors shape gendered patterns of representation, resilience, and adaptation in both political and economic spheres.
