She holds a PhD (with international mention) in political philosophy from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, with a dissertation entitled “Globalization in A World of Equals: A Normative Analysis of Trade-Related Inequalities” under the supervision of Andrew Williams and Paula Casal.

She has spent visiting research periods at the DPIR, University of Oxford and the STG, European University Institute in Florence. For the last ten years, she has worked on the coordination, communication, and dissemination teams of both an FP7 project (2012 – 2016) on social innovation for sustainable ageing and an EITHealth funded 4-year project on teaching innovation. Cristina’s research interests are global ethics and (in) justice, global inequalities, trade and consumption, legitimate global governance institutions, human rights, and global distributive justice.
