Her doctoral dissertation is about negotiation processes of gender relations in the Spanish society of the 1930s and 1940s. By analysing different levels of medical administration, she traces changing perceptions of gender roles over the course of the Second Republic, the civil war and the aftermath. She has studied Area Studies of Latin America in Cologne and History, Political Sciences and European Studies at the universities of Leipzig, Buenos Aires and Budapest. She spent terms at Pontifica Universidad Católica de Argentina and at the University of Buenos Aires in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and as well at Central European University in Budapest.
