Margarita Maria Rodriguez Morales

Margarita is a Public Policy and Sociology PhD candidate interested in analyzing knowledge regimes and the use of technology in policy welfare settings, specifically in issues related to measurement, standardization, and classification in Latin American welfare systems. Her dissertation project focuses on the Colombian case, exploring how algorithmic technologies for targeting social programs have shaped state-society relations in Colombia since the 1990s. Using a qualitative approach, she examines the Colombian Identification System of Social Assistance Programs’ Potential Beneficiaries - Sisbén, the main mechanism to determine potential recipients for state welfare benefits at national and local levels of the Colombian state.
