Mónica Tarducci

Mónica Tarducci is an Argentine anthropologist and feminist activist. Her research focuses on the intersections of gender and religion, and on the adoption of children in the province of Misiones.

Education

Tarducci received her undergraduate and Ph.D degrees from the Universidad de Buenos Aires. She was the keynote speaker for the 2015 Jornadas de Debate Feminista —a Latin American encounter of feminist activists and academics which happens since 2014. In it she highlighted the role of the feminist movement in the fall of the Argentine dictatorship as well as its fundamental role in opening up the world of academia to the possibilities of sexuality, gender and queer theory.

Additionally, Tarducci has appeared in several TV shows and interviews in Argentina, going as far back as the 1980s.

As a professor in the Universidad de Buenos Aires and in the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, Tarducci teaches classes on "family studies," in which she analyzes the familial dynamics following her research with adoption and queer parenting. In an interview to iSel TV, she has described herself as a "secular missionary, spreading knowledge through different contexts." Maternidades en el siglo XXI
