Aurea Bolaños Perea immigrated from Tijuana, BC. Mexico at 12 years old, and moved to San Diego, CA with her mother. In 2019, she graduated from CSU Chico with a Masters in Political Science with Distinction. She consistently looks for opportunities to support women planning on running for elected office or non-profit organizations that need help organizing at the grassroot level.
Additionally, her research agenda includes studying the intersection of gender, race and politics. Most recently, she presented original theoretical work at MPSA 2019 on how Latinas in Congress display Race-Gendered behavior through their legislative behavior.
"The woman of color life is the crossroad, where no aspect of our identity is wholly dismissed from our consciousness, even as we navigate a daily shifting political landscape."
