DPhil in Area Studies (Latin America)

Daniela Garces Yepez has drown hair and wears a floral pattern top, standing in front of a sandstone wall.

I am a DPhil student in Area Studies (Latin America) at Kellog College, University of Oxford. Before starting my DPhil, I was an assistant professor in Ecuador in economics, public policy and development. I also worked in the public sector assessing social and fiscal interventions.

My doctoral research examines to what extent fiscal redistribution strategies of the First and Second Pink Tides have shaped income inequality in Chile and Brazil, with particular attention to differences across intersecting dimensions of race/ethnicity, gender, and territory.

I hold an MPA - with focus on Public and Economic Policy- from the London School of Economics and a BA in Economics from Universidad San Francisco de Quito.

My supervisor is Professor Diego Sánchez-Ancochea.
