I am an economist by training and have worked in the UN system my entire professional life. I am passionate about political economy of inclusive development. I also see inclusive development as a field of study that needs the insights of anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, historians and economists to name a few. I have worked on economic policies needed for inclusive development as well as community driven development focused on poor communities or social groups. My work has been mostly in poorer developing countries, but have also followed the rise of inequality in higher income developing countries as well as OECD member countries. I have worked on many UN wide initiatives and engaged in joint activities with the World Bank. I have witnessed many experiences of political transition and am right now living a fledgling experiment in Sudan.

I am a Senior Researcher and Research Director at the Group for the Analysis of Development (GRADE) in Perú.
I have a broad portfolio of both applied and academic research. My applied work focuses on the analysis and qualitative evaluation of educational and social policies, with a special focus on processes of policy implementation and learning. My academic focuses mostly on educational issues, especially on understanding how educational processes mediate relations between the state and society and on the changing relations between education and work. My recent work has focused on the impact of educational markets and privatization on patterns of school segregation; as well as on vulnerable youth transitions in the context of exclusionary citizenship regimes, youth labour market precarity. Within the latter area I have focused strongly on gender issues underpinning young people's differential access to the labour market.
An ongoing interest of mine, which has been transversal to all of my work, is understanding the conditions under which social research is conducted in developing countries, how gender relations underpin research careers and processes of knowledge production as well as the visibility of women’s work in the public sphere, and how science and technology policies can enhance social science research capacity.
I hold a PhD in Education Policy from the University of Bath, an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies from the University of Essex, both in the UK, and a BA in Philosophy from the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Peru. Between 2006 and 2011 I was a postdoctoral fellow and then a Lecturer in the Department of Education of the University of Bath, UK, where I was associated with the Education Policy and Globalization research group.
My work has been published in edited books and international academic journals.
I am a member and part of the Steering Committee of Grupo Sofía - a network which seeks to promote gender equity in social science research and academia.

I am interested in the empirical analysis of issues related to the economics of innovation, in particular policy evaluation, patent indicators, productivity and import competition.

My current research agenda is concerned with China’s development towards an innovation-driven economy and the impact of this on Europe. Based on my research I have provided policy advisory, e.g. to the World Bank and the German Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation (EFI).
