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[1] and the Western Institute of Technology and Higher Education.[2] Additionally, she has served as a visiting professor at New York University.[3]
Reguillo has made significant contributions to the field of social science in Latin America, establishing herself as a prominent figure in the field.[4] She accompanies her analysis of social phenomena with advocating for social change. For instance, her studies on the 1992 drainage explosions in Guadalajara[5][6] and the involvement of youth in the Mara Salvatrucha[7] were not conducted with a detached scientific approach that treats research subjects solely as sources of data for drawing conclusions.[8] Instead, she assumes a dynamic role, combining her identities as a social researcher and an engaged citizen, which enables her to develop insights into social issues and contribute to driving social transformation.[citation needed]
