Alicia was a research assistant who received a collaboration fellowship with the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) from the Spanish Ministry of Education. In that capacity, she spent a few months each at several research groups, among which the COALESCE Lab (from January to April 2023), where she collected national statistics for the survey countries of the PATCHWORK project, transcribed interviews for the INCLUSIVITY project and participated in meetings and reading groups.
Some research topics that interested her in particular are processes of social exclusion and cohesion, social movements, popular culture, and social control. She was also doing her curricular BA degree internship at the Direcció General de Cultura Popular i Associacionisme Cultural of the Generalitat de Catalunya at the time.
