Sofia Adame
Lab Coordinator
Sofia Adame has been working with CREAR since 2023, where she started as a volunteer Research Assistant. She is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, with a B.S. in Psychology and Anthropology, a minor in Gender, Sexuality & Women’s Studies, and a Global Studies certificate. Her primary areas of interest surround contextual factors related to gender-based violence, particularly the role of institutional, cultural and colonial rhetorics that promote gender norms, help-seeking and reproductive resources. She is particularly interested in examining sexual violence and femicides experienced by Latin American women both in their home context and throughout the immigration journey. As a third culture Mexican immigrant, CREAR Lab provides a space to examine a wide array of these issues through extensive collaboration and community-based work. She believes in transforming “data” to reflect real experiences in the hopes of developing policies, interventions and education programs that are culturally relevant for directed communities. Sofia has demonstrated her dedication to this work in multiple settings outside of CREAR ranging from volunteering for poverty alleviation in Honduras, social work among refugees in Spain, and medical translation in hospital settings.
