Madelyn Boots

Maddie is interested in the political socialization and efficacy of the post-dictatorship generation in Chile. How do young adults understand and navigate their positions within larger political and economic systems, and how do they participate in the collective task of creating meaning of the past and future? She hopes to explore the intersections of state institutions and discourses, neoliberal market structures and rationalities, affective family spaces, and contentious memory debates.
