Miriam Arenas
Lecturer and Researcher
Presentation
Lecturer and Researcher at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC) since 2018. I hold a Phd in Sociology (University of Barcelona, 2017) and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2004). I have been visiting researcher at the Centre for Disability Studies of the University of Leeds (UK, 2010) and of the Observatório da Deficiência e Direitos Humanos de la Universidade de Lisboa (Portugal, 2015).
My research focuses on analysing social movements and activist experiences within marginalized groups, with the goal of transforming public social and educational policies and professional practices through the lens of inclusion and social justice. I specialize in feminist research and qualitative, participatory methodologies, specifically applied to the fields of Disability and Childhood Studies.
