I am a postdoctoral researcher on the WHOCOUNTS project, led by Daniel Edmiston at IGOP, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Most of my research focuses on the study of poverty from various perspectives. On one hand, I explore how people perceive and react to those in poverty, emphasizing attributions for poverty and how people define poverty. Currently, within the project, I am working on aspects related to the long-term effects of severe poverty, low-income dynamics, and the inclusion of populations excluded from poverty statistics (e.g., homeless people). I am also interested in studying social class and socioeconomic status from a psychosocial perspective, as well as the methodological and measurement aspects related to it.
Soy investigador postdoctoral en el proyecto WHOCOUNTS, dirigido por Daniel Edmiston en el IGOP, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. La mayor parte de mi investigación gira en torno al estudio de la pobreza desde diferentes perspectivas: cómo la gente percibe a las personas en situación de pobreza, las atribuciones sobre la pobreza, sus dinámicas a largo plazo, y la incorporación de poblaciones excluidas de las estadísticas (e.g., personas sin hogar). También me interesa el estudio de la clase social y el estatus socioeconómico desde una perspectiva psicosocial.
