Biografía

Paloma Caravantes González is a tenured research scientist at the IPP-CSIC.

She holds a PhD in Women’s and Gender Studies from Rutgers University (New Jersey, USA). She has been a César Nombela postdoctoral researcher at the IPP-CSIC, as well as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie researcher (LODGE, Ref. 101067130) and a Juan de la Cierva–Formación researcher (FJC2020-042827-I) in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain).

She is currently a member of the research team for the Horizon Europe project “Co-Creating Inclusive Intersectional Democratic Spaces Across Europe” (CCINDLE; Ref: 101061256). Previously, she took part in the projects “The Gender Division in the Agenda of the Parliament of Catalonia” (DEMOC; Ref. EXI077 /21/000001) and “Towards the Implementation of the ‘Human Rights, Gender, and Intersectionality’ Approach in Madrid’s Municipal Policies” (IMPLEMAD; Ref. 2018-548-042), funded by the Government of Catalonia and the Madrid City Council, respectively. 

From 2021 to 2025, she was a member of the Steering Committee of the ECPR Standing Group on Gender and Politics. She has published in journals such as European Journal of Political Research, Policy & Politics, Politics & Gender, International Political Science Review, and South European Society and Politics, as well as a monograph on the implementation of intersectionality in public policies of the Madrid City Council.

Her research interests focus on processes of feminist democratization at the local level, the implementation of intersectionality and gender equity approaches in public policy, and the analysis of the anti-gender movement and institutional and parliamentary responses to it.
