Social and educational psychology Pre doctoral researcher
I am a social and educational psychology PhD student at Open University of Catalonia with a PhD fellowship from the Government of Catalonia co-funded by the European Social Fund working with GenTIC. I was a visiting researcher at University of California, Santa Cruz working with Dr. Campbell Leaper. Before starting the doctoral studies I finished an Official Master Degree in Social Psychology at University of Granada.
In my PhD I analyse the pre-service teachers' opinions and attitudes of gender roles and stereotypes about males' and females' competences in STEM subjects using qualitative and quantitative methodologies. I also contribute teaching diversity, inclusion and equality in institutions & companies.
