María Victoria Seca
Early-Career Fellow 2025–2026

Victoria Seca is a sociologist specializing in youth studies and social conflict. Her research explores how young people engage with politics, focusing on climate and far-right youth activism in Argentina. She investigates how their political commitments shape their understandings of democracy and how their practices support, reshape, or challenge democratic life. Her approach combines political sociology and youth studies, drawing on insights from political science, psychology, and democracy studies.

Victoria received her PhD in Social Sciences from the National University of Cuyo (AR) in 2021, with a dissertation on the participatory experiences of working-class youth in Mendoza. Before joining the Collegium, she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Argentinian National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), studying the echoes of feminist mobilizations in socio-environmental and other youth collectives. She is part of the Gender Studies and Critical Theory Research Group (INCIHUSA–CONICET) and is a co-founder of the Youth Studies Research Group at the National University of Cuyo.
