Her inquiries aim to contribute to the conceptualization of the contemporary condition and the understanding of the current state of culture after the profound transformations that come with globalization, the emergence of ICT and the acceleration of the world. She focuses on the analysis of how these changes challenge the cultural function of secondary school, exploring the processes of convergence and tension that exist between the demands of contemporaneity and the school proposal. Her focus of analysis is on the epistemological-pedagogical dimension of the school, particularly on the impact that the emergence of a digital culture has on it and that of the latter on youth subjectivities.
