Andrea Pla i Rivas

I am a PhD student in Geography at Universitat de Barcelona (UB). I am currently a member of both REDSIST project and [espais crítics] research group.
My primary research focuses on spatial analysis of domestic spaces through creative and critical mapping methodologies, challenging the gendered assumptions surrounding public and private spaces.

I enjoy spending the afternoons drawing, walking, and reading. Sometimes, I take care of a small grove where strawberries, garlic, and peppers grow :)
