María Fernanda Rodríguez – mfr32@cam.ac.uk
I am a Peruvian sociologist with a master’s degree in Education, Globalisation, and International Development. After working in educational research and public policy in Peru for the past years, I am now starting a Ph.D. in Education at Cambridge. My work has focused on researching educational topics from a sociological perspective, especially in issues involving inequality, reform and change in educational systems, pupil mobility and segregation, and topics in private education.
My MPhil thesis, which received the Best Dissertation Award from the Faculty of Education at Cambridge, explored how the debate on the regulation of private education in Peru revealed contradictory ways of seeing education that are located in market and civil orders of worth. My doctoral research aims to advance the analysis of the private education phenomena in Peru and the region from new avenues of analysis.
