Claudia is a lecturer and Deputy Programme Lead at the University of York in London, where she contributes her expertise to the MSc in International Humanitarian Affairs (MIHA). Her research endeavors focus on critically examining learning approaches that empower girls and women from marginalized and rural backgrounds across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. She engages with ancient wisdom from the Global South, seeking innovative solutions to contemporary challenges, particularly in the realm of climate change.
Central to Claudia's work is the exploration of non-mainstream pedagogical approaches within contexts marked by disasters, conflict, and uneven development. Her efforts extend beyond academia, as she has actively engaged with grassroots initiatives, primarily in Uganda and Colombia, since 2016.
Claudia holds a PhD from the University of York, where her research focused on the role of education (formal, informal, and non-formal) in empowering women from the Global South. She has also completed an MSc in International Humanitarian Affairs and an LLB (Hons) Law Degree. Claudia's multifaceted background underscores her commitment to fostering inclusive and sustainable development, informed by both academic rigor and practical engagement.
