Rossana Reguillo

Rossana Reguillo is a Mexican academic known for researching social norms, human emotions and the relationship between communication, culture, and politics in Latin America and how it is affected by drug trafficking. She currently holds a professor position at ITESO University and the Western Institute of Technology and Higher Education. Additionally, she has served as a visiting professor at New York University and a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences.

She is known to combines analysis with advocacy of social phenomena by advocating for social change.
