Mia Zorka Dragnic García holds a PhD in Latin American Studies from the University of Chile, an MA in Gender and Culture in Latin America from the same institution, and a BA in Sociology from Universidad ARCIS and the Central University of Venezuela (UCV). Her trajectory combines research, teaching, and university extension, with a focus on gender studies, intellectual history, and feminisms in Latin America and the Caribbean. She has carried out research stays at institutions such as the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Her academic work has been recognized with multiple grants and awards at different stages of her career, including the Pedro Krotsch Award for Studies on the University (CLACSO), the Internationalization Project of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Chile, fellowships from the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (CONICYT), and support from the Sylff Foundation. Her research is characterized by a genealogical approach that articulates archive, writing, and politics to interrogate the ways in which gender, violence, and knowledge intersect in Latin American history. She is currently developing, with the support of the Sylff Research Grant, a study on the intellectual circulation of Gina Lombroso in Chile and Argentina, exploring the intersections of criminology, sexuality, and the construction of antifeminist imaginaries at the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Through this work, she contributes to contemporary debates on epistemic justice, critical culture, and the democratization of knowledge in the region.
