Brenda Mondragón-Toledo
Brenda Mondragón-Toledo is a Mexican Ph.D. student and lecturer at the Sociology Department and SPLAS in University College Cork. Her current research is a comparative study of gender violence in Ireland and Mexico through textiles using participatory arts research. Her research interests lie in the sociological and anthropological study of textiles and embroidery among different spaces from a feminist perspective. Specifically, her research lies in analysing the social impact of textiles in everyday life, consumption, fashion, political resistance, collective memory and as a methodological tool to speak about gender violence. This impact has been studied through the making process, the transmission of knowledge, among support networks and the legal protection of Indigenous textiles.
