Dr. Cristina Moyano, professor, researcher and current dean of USACH’s Faculty of Human Sciences

“In my more than 20 years as a researcher, I have moved from social history to the study of political elites, specifically from the perspective of subjectivity, the production of political thought and the incidence of the generation of cognitive frameworks in the recent Chilean history”.

“Social research promotes critical thinking, gives agency to social stakeholders so they take a stand from their spaces and also feeds their decisions into the more institutional political world”.
