Rossana Reguillo

Rossana Reguillo is a Mexican scholar known for her research on youth, the city as a social space, the concept of "fear" as a social construct, and the relationship between communication, culture, and politics in Latin America. She currently holds positions as a professor at ITESO University and the Western Institute of Technology and Higher Education. Additionally, she has served as a visiting professor at New York University.

Reguillo has made significant contributions to the field of social science in Latin America, establishing herself as a prominent figure in the field. She accompanies her analysis of social phenomena with advocating for social change. For instance, her studies on the 1992 drainage explosions in Guadalajara and the involvement of youth in the Mara Salvatrucha were not conducted with a detached scientific approach that treats research subjects solely as sources of data for drawing conclusions.
