Half of them are in English, the rest in Spanish, Catalan, French and Italian. She published in Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, Theory & Psychology, Etnografia e Ricerca Qualitativa, Revue de Synthèse, Quality & Quantity; Gender, Work & Organization; Revista Internacional de Sociología among others. She interviewed and translated Aaron Cicourel and David Kirsh, belongs to the editing team of the journal DEBATS and enjoys writing book reviews.
