Research career edit

Laura Nuño holds a PhD in Political Science from the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). Her doctoral thesis, which she defended in 2008, deals with the origins and consequences of the sexual division of labor.[4] This research, which was subsequently published under the title El mito del varón sustentador, delves into the roots of the sexual division of labor and defends the thesis of how the incorporation of women into public space represents one of the greatest revolutions of the 20th century, although maintaining that it is still incomplete, since new gender roles in the public space have not been accompanied by a reformulation of traditional ones in the private space. This is the reason why the author considers this division one of the main sources of gender inequality.[5]

In addition to this work, Nuño has participated in almost 20 investigations, including "Derecho fundamental a la educación: derechos, ciudadanía y libertad" (Fundamental Right to Education: Rights, Citizenship, and Freedom), "Debates teóricos sobre la prostitución; un análisis de los fundamentos filosóficos, históricos y legales" (Theoretical Debates on Prostitution: An Analysis of the Philosophical, Historical, and Legal Foundations), and "Análisis de la agenda pública en España desde la perspectiva de género: las demandas de las mujeres hacia el sistema político" (Analysis of the Public Agenda in Spain from a Gender Perspective: The Demands of Women Towards the Political System). She is currently part of the research team of the project "El Derecho Constitucional ante la crisis" (Constitutional Law in the Face of the Crisis).

In 2013, along with social researchers Manuel Tamayo Sáenz and Ernesto Carrillo Barroso, she published "La formación de la agenda pública. Análisis comparado de las demandas de hombres y mujeres hacia el sistema político en España" (The Formation of the Public Agenda. Comparative Analysis of the Demands of Men and Women Towards the Political System in Spain). In this work, the public agenda is examined by applying gender perspective as a methodological and analytical tool for the first time.

Nuño worked as an Applied Social Research Technician at the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) from January 1991 to October 2002, after which she requested a leave of absence to dedicate herself to her teaching and research activities full-time.

Teaching, institutional, and activist career edit

Nuño began her teaching career at the Complutense University of Madrid in 1991[6] and is currently a Professor of Political Science at King Juan Carlos University, where she heads the Gender Equality Observatory,[7] the Gender Studies Chair of the Institute of Public Law, the Degree in Gender Equality,[8] and the University Master's Degree in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies,[9] as well as being part of the management team of the program "Género y políticas de igualdad entre mujeres y hombres" (Gender and Politics of Equality Between Women and Men). Under her direction, the Equality Observatory received the Alcorcón City Council [es] Award in 2015 in recognition of its work and commitment to the elimination of violence against women.[10] That year, and through the Observatory on which it depends, she promoted the constitution of the URJC's Equality Unit that formulated the institution's first Equality Plan.[11]

She participates as a teacher in the Degree in Gender Equality, in the official master's degrees of "Interdisciplinary Studies of Equality" (URJC) and "Senior Management" (José Ortega y Gasset Foundation [es]), and in some postgraduate programs such as the Master's Degree in Law and Human Development Perspective of Gender (Supreme Court of Justice of Nicaragua),[12] Master in Management and Leadership (Miguel Escalera Training and Employment Foundation), Master in Sexology and Gender (SexPol Foundation), Master in Gender and Politics of Equality between Women and Men (FOREM), and Master in International Cooperation and Development in Latin America. She is part of the group that promoted and created the University Platform for Feminist and Gender Studies on 30 September 2016, made up of more than 40 university entities, research agencies, and associations.[13]

Since its establishment she has been an expert member of the State Council on Women's Participation.[2][3] She is also a member of the Advisory Council of the First of May Foundation,[14] the Gender Violence Commission of the City Council of Madrid's Observatory Against Gender Violence, and the Advisory Council of the URJC's Public Law Institute.[15]

Nuño actively participates in various civil society organizations and platforms, such as the Feminist Policy Forum, the Platform for Equal and Untransferable Birth and Adoption Permits [es] (PPIINA),[16] the CSIC Gender Studies Network (GENET),[17] and the CCOO union.[18] She has also been a councilor in San Agustín del Guadalix,[19] as well as a Senate candidate for the United Left–Greens.[20]
