Dr. Elizabeth S. Corredor, PhD (she/they/ella)

en español

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Bryn Mawr College. 

I received my Ph.D. from Rutgers University in Political Science in 2021. I have an M.A. in Latin American Studies from the University of Chicago (2006), and a certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Rutgers University (2018).

My research and teaching are interdisciplinary and rest at the intersections of Political Science; Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; Trans Studies; Sociology; Latin American Studies; and Peace and Conflict Studies.

My book manuscript, which is based on my award winning dissertation, argues that to better understand the gendering of peace negotiations and agreements at large, we must not only look at how many and which women are at the table, but also at the gendered and spatial logics of peace negotiations to understand the gendered outcomes in peace agreements. Using the 2010-2016 Colombian peace process as a case study, I draw on an original framework that traces the efforts, locations, and gendered logics of both women’s and LGBTIQ+ groups, as well as those of the negotiation table, to unearth the ways in which women’s and LGBTIQ+ groups’ agendas were accepted, co-opted, and/or resisted within the negotiations and final agreement.

Emerging from my book project, I also study how anti-gender and anti-trans mobilizations contribute to epistemological and ontological violence & insecurity within the state and at the grassroots level. I am interested in understanding how these campaigns attempt to destabilize and erase identities and knowledge systems in both public discourse and policy.
