About Myriam Sauer

I am an assistant professor of sociology at the Latin America Institute of Freie Universität Berlin. My research is on psychoanalysis in Latin America, although I am also researching literature and sociology from a Latin American studies perspective. In my work I focus on representations of gender, sexuality and race in psychoanalytic theory; I am also engaging with the social structure of Latin America.

Writer, theorist, and psychoanalytic thinker from Berlin, Germany.
