Carolina Torreblanca

¡Hola! I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Penn Development Research Initiative. I received my Ph.D. in Politics from New York University in 2024.

My research explores the political economy of crime and its punishment, with a regional focus on Mexico and Latin America and an emphasis on political methodology.

I hold a B.A. in Political Science and a B.A. in International Relations from ITAM (2015). Before grad school, I was the Director of Data Analysis in Data Cívica.

If you want to read my rants about Mexican politics and occasionally movies, you can follow me on Twitter. I am also working on an ever-expanding compilation of the best cover songs you can check out.

Or reach me via email.
