PhD dissertation topic: «"Yes to God, no to abortion": political parties and evangelical movements in politics in Colombia since 1991 », under the direction of Camille GOIRAND
At a time of institutionalization and militant renewal of feminist movements in Latin America, several countries are witnessing the emergence of conservative “counter-movements” that are challenging these advances, both at the ballot box and in the streets. Valentina Santamaría looks at the crystallization of this conservative reaction in Colombia, built around the issue of decriminalizing abortion. Two central groups of actors are mobilizing around this issue: anti-abortion collectives, who take to the streets to protest, and members of evangelical political parties, who speak out against the Constitutional Court ruling. Using the sociology of careers and the sociology of social movements, the coordinator of the Bogotá Andean cluster aims to map the irruptions of the religious field into the political arena, while defining the resulting political polarization.
