Dana Brablec

Dana Brablec holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Cambridge. In 2020, she joined the School of History, Philosophy and Social Sciences, Bangor University, as a Postdoctoral Research Officer on the project “Borders, boundary mechanisms and migration”, part of the WISERD Civil Society Centre. Building on the notion of civic stratification, the project explores the factors shaping civil society organisations’ engagement with different forms of migration, boundary mechanisms, and forms of bordering in the area of migrant and Roma rights in the Czech Republic, Greece, the UK, and Sweden.

Dana is also a Fellow of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of London, an Affiliated Researcher in Sociology at the University of Cambridge, and a Teaching Associate at the Centre of Latin American Studies also at Cambridge.

Building on ethnographic research, and from a community-based organisational perspective, Dana's work also explores Indigenous urbanisation in Santiago de Chile and the role that the state plays in this process. The results of her research have been published in the Bulletin of Latin American Research, Sociology, and the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
