Research project: My research project focuses on the issue of illegitimacy, gender, and family relations during the socialist projects of the Popular Unity (Unidad Popular, UP) in Chile, and the Cuban Revolution during the 1970s. I want to analyze, from a transnational approach, how these socialist projects simultaneously sought to eliminate illegitimacy as a natal category, with the goal of achieving social equality by regulating intimate relationships, parental relationships, and gender relations.
