Profile
Diana's work emphasizes children's and youth's self-constructions as political subjects by focusing on their participation in peace building through collective memory and peace education processes. Her multidisciplinary approach to the Colombian post-accord context draws from Childhood Studies, Memory Studies, and Political Theory. She specializes in how post-conflict legal frameworks have included and considered children's and youth's participation in post-conflict Colombia, particularly in relation to transitional justice mechanisms and collective memory initiatives. Her research also extends to broader Latin American contexts, examining how memory practices shape youth political agency across the region.
