Isabel Güiza-Gómez
CIPR Post-Doctoral Fellow

Isabel Güiza-Gómez is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tulane University’s Center for Inter-American Policy and Research (CIPR). She holds a Ph.D. in Political Science and Peace Studies from the University of Note Dame. She is a research affiliate at the Notre Dame Eliminating Violence Against Women Lab and Bogotá-based think tank Dejusticia. Her research investigates the political economy of redistribution and social mobilization in post-conflict democracies, with a particular focus on class, racial, and ethnic politics in Latin America. At CIPR, she is developing her book manuscript, “Landing Peace. Rural-Poor Mobilization and Land Redistribution in Civil War Political Transitions,” which examines the conditions under which rural social movements—especially peasant, Afro-descendant, and Indigenous organizations—shape the redistribution of property rights in civil war peace processes in Colombia, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
