Dr. González Marrero received her doctorate from Justus Liebig University, where she examined the relationship between social imaginaries and cultural policy within the framework of normative totalitarianism in the Cuban revolutionary state. Since 2020, she has headed the Food Monitor Program, an academic observatory that documents and critiques food policy in authoritarian regimes in Latin America and analyzes its impact on governance and the spatial dimension of everyday life. Her most recent research focuses on mechanisms of autocratic adaptation, including currency adjustment, transnational governance, the informal economy, and everyday forms of resistance in contexts of crisis and coercion.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. González Marrero as a new member of the Ifek team! If you would like to learn more about Dr. González Marrero, her research, and her working methods, you can do here.
