Alejandro Valdivia

Alejandro Valdivia is a sociologist in international relations, with a transnational academic biography spanning diverse languages and education systems. His research focuses on feminist medical humanities, migration, and access to social rights within the EU, particularly to health and labour. Cross-cutting themes in his research include ethics and gender. As a research associate and PhD candidate at the European University of Flensburg (ICES) and Humboldt University of Berlin (CMB), he works on a project examining access to social rights for women and migrants in France and Germany. Alejandro is also actively engaged in the European University Alliance Circle U. In this capacity, he is a guest researcher at the University of Oslo in Norway, where he is exploring global health narratives of responsibility and empowerment, in collaboration with professors from the University of Pisa (Italy), UCLouvain (Belgium), and University Paris Cité (France). Within Circle U., he has also secured a PhD-led project on occupational health and social inequities within the EU. Alejandro’s PhD examines the knowledge-policy interface within feminist Science and Technology Studies (STS), focusing on the empirical case of occupational health regulation in industrial slaughterhouses and the role of trade unions in this context. Alejandro holds an M.A. in International Relations, with specialisations in International Law and International Politics from the Technical University of Dresden in Germany (in German and English), a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Strasbourg in France (in French), and a Diploma in Classical Humanities from the Jesuit University Antonio Ruiz de Montoya in Peru (in Spanish).;
