\n

\n In addition to my academic work, I have worked as a journalist and participated in civil society organizations conducting research on human rights and social movements. Communication is one of the most important mechanisms both for the reproduction of power and for social change. For this reason, documenting, describing, and analyzing issues related to human rights, the right to information, and social movements are central tasks for activists, journalists, and scholars.\n <\/p>\n
