Dana Brablec

Dana Brablec is an Assistant Professor at the Centre for Latin American Research and Documentation (CEDLA), University of Amsterdam. She earned her PhD in Sociology from the University of Cambridge, where her doctoral research focused on the identity reconstruction practices of Mapuche migrants in Santiago de Chile, examining how urban Indigenous associations facilitate ethnic identity formation in postcolonial urban contexts. Brablec's interdisciplinary research encompasses Indigenous urbanisation, race and racism, and intersectional discrimination, with a particular emphasis on Latin American Indigenous populations and European Roma communities. Her work critically explores the dynamics of cultural identity, racism, and the role of civil society in marginalised communities.
