Mariana Brocca is a PhD candidate in Law at the University of Buenos Aires under a National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) grant. She also holds an LL.M. in International Human Rights Law (University of Notre Dame -Fulbright scholarship) and a Master’s in Legal Feminisms (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona). She is a professor at the Law School of the Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (UNICEN), where she obtained her undergraduate degree.

Her doctoral research focuses on care policies at the subnational level from a gender and human rights approach. Thus, she seeks to identify how the different actors in the care diamond articulate in medium-sized localities based on the contributions of studies on public policies, social rights, and their interaction with legal geography. In doing so, she seeks to identify the persistence of obstacles to women’s access, permanence, and promotion in the labor market. Mariana joined the Carework Network Steering Committee in August 2024.
