Intersectionality, the self and identity narratives of Latin American migrant women
South American women constitute the largest group within the migrant population in Spain. These women are often recruited for domestic and care work, where they encounter various forms of discrimination. Migration prompts them to question their own identity, which is narratively reconstructed through proculturation processes. From an intersectional perspective, this paper analyzes the identity reconstruction of four Latin American women who face …
Negotiating Relationships Within Multispecies Families
In the same way that atoms make up matter, Western societies are built around the family as one of their elemental units (Furusten, 2023 ). Much of the values and expectations of each community are transmitted to individuals through their families, which play the role of repositories of information and chains of cultural transmission. Despite its importance and ubiquity, it is difficult to offer a single definition of family , given that each com…
Repairing the breach

A semi-structured interview was conducted to …

Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tested the adequacy of three different structures present in literature, finding better fit…

The second section analyzes the prop…

To this end, we first present the border concept from a cultural psychology point of view. Then we…
