Carmen Pérez del Pulgar Frowein

Carmen undertook half of her undergraduate degree in Mathematics at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid before reorienting towards social sciences. She graduated in Political Science at the Universidad Computense de Madrid and holds an MSc (cum laude) in Human Geography from the Universiteit van Amsterdam.

She researches the inclusiveness and environmental justice of urban spaces and explores the ways in which race, gender and class shape the experiences and the perceptions of their residents within the complex geographies of cities. Focusing on this contested nature of cities, she explores how the territorial identities and conflicting conceptions of geopolitical and economic tendencies become populated and renegotiated through everyday urban spaces. She is particularly interested in the factors that determine the dynamics and conflicts around the greening of cities, and in the role of citizens in the construction of new meanings and models of environmentally resilient and just cities.
