She is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the U. of Chile, and Researcher-in-charge at the Millennium Nucleus Center for Research in Sociological Vulnerabilities and Disasters at the U. of Chile.

Her presentation was entitled “Vulnerability, vulerables, and the new miserable,” where she reviews the meanings associated with social vulnerability in the areas of public policies associated with health, education, and economic development. Their implications are analyzed in the construction of norms for the relation of the subjects with institutions and with critical situations, as well as the confluence of the different areas of the discourse on vulnerability in the construction of a “focused subject.”
