Biography

Galia Cozzi Berrondo is a Ph.D. candidate in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stony Brook University. Her dissertation examines Latin/x American queer and trans migrant activism in Spain, focusing on collective performances as acts of resistance against liberal migration politics.

Since 2023, she has served as the IDEA graduate assistant at the Center for Changing Systems of Power, working with Dr. Manisha Desai to promote epistemic, aesthetic, and social justice at local and global levels through research and collaborative teaching between academia and activism.

In 2017, she was awarded the Fulbright-García Robles scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in Sociology at the New School for Social Research. She has been a research assistant at the Center for Research and Gender Studies at UNAM and the Editorial Assistant for the Mexican journal Debate Feminista.
