Xènia Chela Álvarez

Research Support Technique

I hold a degree in Political Science and Administration (2003), a Master’s in Public and Social Policies from Pompeu Fabra University (2005), and a Master’s in Women, Gender, and Citizenship Studies from the University of Barcelona (2012). I am currently a PhD candidate at the University of the Balearic Islands. As a researcher, my work has focused on various areas, from social sciences to health sciences, but the central theme has always been social inequalities: socio-economic, origin-based, gender-related, etc. Methodologically, I have extensive experience in qualitative research.
