Lorena Rocio Izaguirre Valdivieso
SSH/IACS Institute for the Analysis of Change in Contemporary and Historical Societies (IACCHOS)
I am a sociologist specializing in international migration and displacement, with a particular focus on South-South migration. My research examines how class, race, ethnicity, and gender shape migrants’ trajectories and the intersections between spatial and social mobility, precarity, and informality.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (F.R.S.-FNRS) and the Interdisciplinary Research Center on Families and Sexualities (CIRFASE) at UCLouvain. Previously, I held a postdoctoral position at the Institute of Geography of the University of Neuchâtel and nccr – on the move.
Trained in Peru, France, and Belgium, I hold a Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences from UCLouvain (2019). My work is grounded in fieldwork in Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Belgium and engages with Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese academic traditions.
Current project: Disrupted mobilities, biographical ruptures, and inherited continuities: imagining and negotiating the
future in a context of displacement
