Carolina Torreblanca

¡Hola! I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at PDRI-DevLab at the University of Pennsylvania. 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. Additionally, I work on the epistemology of causal research, exploring what conclusions we can draw from diverse research designs.

I received my Ph.D. in Politics from New York University in 2024. 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.
