Intereses
My research concerns have initially revolved around community and participatory development in the field of indigenous social movements. More recently, I have got involved in aspects related to social exclusion within an urban context. In this area, my jobs have led me to tackle phenomena such as the social reality of excluded neighbourhoods, youthful vandalism, homelessness, corporal ties in stigmatized groups and, finally societal phenomena, with emphasis on exclusion scenarios or social marginality. My latest research efforts have been turn to research about sustainable and alternative forms of urban mobility, focusing on the study of bicycle use in large cities.
