She graduated with a degree in sociology in August 1993, along with the Gold Medal awarded by the School of Political and Social Sciences (National University of Cuyo, Mendoza, Argentina). That same year, she joined the Latin American History of Ideas team at the Institute of Human and Environmental Sciences (INCIHUSA, CONICET) to study the relationship between culture and politics in Peru during the 1920s. In August 2001, she defended her doctoral dissertation in the Doctoral Program in Political and Social Sciences at the National University of Cuyo, under the supervision of Arturo Andrés Roig. Two books emerged from this dissertation: *The Itinerary and the Compass: The Aesthetic-Political Avant-Garde of José Carlos Mariátegui* (2003) and *The Epic of a Generation and a Magazine: José Carlos Mariátegui’s Publishing Networks in Latin America (2006). Shortly after completing his doctorate, he joined the Program on the International Circulation of Ideas, founded by Pierre Bourdieu, where he devoted himself to studying the international circulation of “dependency theory.” Between November 2004 and January 2005, he completed his first postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre de Sociologie Européenne (EHESS), under the supervision of Dr. Gisèle Sapiro.
In 2003, he received the “Bernardo Houssay” Award from the Secretariat of Science and Technology of the Argentine Republic in the Young Researcher category, in the discipline of Sociology and Demography. In 2004, his work “Life, Death, and Resurrection of Dependency Theories” won First Prize in the International Essay Contest “The Theoretical Legacies of the Social Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean,” in the Semi-Senior Category, organized by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO). That same year, his essay “Peripheral Identities: Caught in the Crossfire of Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism” received an honorable mention in the International Prize of the Cuban Book Institute and was published in the book *Pensar a Contracorriente* (Havana: Cuban Book Institute, 2005).
Between 2005 and 2009, she coordinated the comparative research project on “The Creation of an Academic Network for Social Research in Chile and Argentina (1950–1980).” Between November 2008 and February 2009, she completed her second postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre de Sociologie Européenne, with a Hermes Fellowship from the Fondation de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme. Between 2014 and 2018, she was part of the Argentine team for the INTERCO-SSH Project, GA 319974, funded by the European Union and led by Gisèle Sapiro, with the goal of constructing an international history of the social sciences since 1945. In 2014 and 2016, she completed her third and fourth research residencies at the CESSP, teaching two seminars at the EHESS. In 2010, she was honored by the Chamber of Deputies of the Province of Mendoza. In 2017, she was awarded the Honorable Mention for Scientific Merit (2017) by the Honorable Senate of the Argentine Nation. In 2021, she was invited to serve as Associate Director of Studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) by the Fondation de la Maison des Sciences Sociales. In 2025, she received the Charles Pessanha Award from the journal *Dados* in the Best Sociology Article category, and in 2026, the Konex Award in the Sociology category.
She has published 15 books, numerous book chapters, and articles in international scientific journals. She has chaired evaluation committees at various national and international organizations. She chaired the UNESCO Advisory Committee on the Open Science Recommendation (2020–2021) and was a member of the Argentine delegation to the General Conference that adopted the Recommendation in November 2021. She served as Coordinator of the Argentine Committee on Open and Citizen Science (MINCYT) from 2020 to 2023. She has supervised 22 approved doctoral and master’s theses. She currently supervises 15 researchers, thesis students, and fellows.
She is currently a Senior Researcher at CONICET, a Tenured Professor in the School of Political and Social Sciences (UNCuyo), and director of the Center for the Study of the Circulation of Knowledge (CECIC) https://cecic.fcp.uncuyo.edu.ar/. She is a member of the CONICET Advisory Committee for the broad field of Social Sciences and Humanities. She is a member of the Expert Group on Open Science of the International Association of Universities (IAU, UNESCO); the Advisory Committee on Multilingualism of the Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI); the Academic Committee of the Berlin Center for Global Engagement (CGHE, Berlin University Alliance); and an Associate Member of the Robert Merton Zentrum (Humboldt University, Berlin). She serves on the editorial board of the Bourdieu Foundation’s newsletter *Practical Sense*, the journal *Sociology* (British Sociological Association), *Minerva* (Bielefeld University), and the *Journal of Research on Research* (JROR).
