How to Survive STEM Academia as a Tenure-track Woman
This research amplifies the voices of 77 tenured and nearly tenured women in STEM academia who responded to a series of open-ended questions regarding perceived barriers and supports on the path toward tenure. The current study compared these responses to those collected five years earlier, when participants were untenured, to analyze changes over time (Gregor et al., 2022). Consensual qualitative research-modified (CQR-M; Spangler et al., 2011) …
Asociación entre los niveles de cortisol en pelo y la autopercepción psicológica frente al estrés en estudiantes de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Chile
El estrés es uno de los fenómenos más notorios en la actualidad y en tanto se torna crónico afecta la salud de las personas en múltiples niveles. El estrés académico afecta a los estudiantes universitarios durante su proceso de formación, repercutiendo en su calidad de vida. Existen pocos estudios en Chile que examinen la relación entre el estrés fisiológico crónico y las diferentes dimensiones del estrés psicológico. Objetivo: evaluar la relació…
Academia in the Time of Covid-19
This research highlights the voices of 92 STEM women in academia who responded to a series of open-ended questions regarding their experiences of oppression during the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of those oppressive experiences. Consensual Qualitative Research-Modified (CQR-M) was chosen as a methodological and analytical approach, as it allows for examination of large samples with brief qualitative data. The main findings reveal substantial…
Cyber abuse and posttraumatic stress disorder among racially diverse women who have resided in domestic violence shelters
Although more CA is associated with more severe PTSD symptoms from the time women are in shelter to postshelter, 3, 9, and 15 months postshelter, this is no longer the case when overall IPV is considered. This study extends our understanding of how CA can exacerbate psychological health consequences, including PTSD severity, of W-DVS, suggesting that cyber abuse should be assessed in tandem with other IPV types rather than as a separate phenomeno…
Relationship between emotional awareness, symptoms, and protective factors in children exposed to intimate partner violence
This study highlights the relevance of EA for children EIPV. Lower EA was associated with higher symptom severity, while higher EA was linked to better self-esteem, social skills, and resilience. The findings suggest the significance of addressing EA in therapeutic interventions for this population. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Infancia, dictadura y resistencia
(Descriptivo): En este artículo de investigación recuperamos la voz de los hijos-niños e hijas-niñas de la gente militante de la izquierda de Chile, a partir del análisis de sus producciones simbólicas y registros de la vida cotidiana tales como cartas, dibujos, objetos realizados entre 1973 y 1989, y entrevistas registradas en documentales de la época que se encuentran actualmente en el Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos de Santiago de C…
Associations Between Cultural Values, Acculturation, Intimate Partner Violence, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms in Mexican American Women
The damaging legacy of damage‐centered LGBTIQ+ research
Research on LGBTIQ+ populations has focused primarily on identifying problems in the community (e.g., health disparities) and their predictors (e.g., minority stressors, discrimination). Scholars have argued that the approach of highlighting “damage” or deficits has been helpful for advocacy but has also harmed this community by perpetuating stereotypes (e.g., LGBTIQ+ individuals are unhealthy), ignoring or devaluing positive LGBTIQ+ experiences,…
Reimagining LGBTIQ+ research – Acknowledging differences across subpopulations, methods, and countries
Inequalities and discrimination based on gender identity, sexual orientation, and sex characteristics remain pervasive worldwide. Scholars have collaborated to address structural and social barriers in LGBTIQ+ research, creating a substantial literature base. However, much of this work focuses on specific segments of the population, overlooks resilience‐ and strengths‐based approaches, and is predominantly conducted in the U.S. and other Western …
Survival sex among a diverse sample of women with histories of intimate partner violence
Engaging in survival sex may be commonly experienced by women residing in DV shelters and is associated with trauma history and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Despite the small, non-representative sample, results indicate education for providers is necessary to interact effectively with this population.

The crisis of subsidiarity in the National Service for Minors
En los últimos años en Chile se asiste a un intenso debate sociolegislativo respecto al modo en que el Estado y la sociedad se responsabilizan de la niñez que, por diferentes razones, no puede estar al cuidado de sus familias consanguíneas. El sistema de protección de la infancia ha hecho evidente su crisis provocando la instalación de una reforma al sistema. En este artículo se propone un análisis crítico a la implementación de esta política, a …
Building space for feminist solidarity
In this forum we explore different perspectives for how to apply intersectionality as a critical framework for design across multiple contexts. --- Yolanda A. Rankin and Jakita O. Thomas, Editors

Research Disruptions, New Opportunities
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to teaching and research in universities. This has prompted the publication of a considerable number of studies, frameworks, and guidelines on teaching adaptations. Less has been written on adaptations to empirical research projects, partly because such projects have been put on hold or redesigned entirely. This paper reflects on adaptations made, challenges encountered, and lessons learne…
