Laura Roth

Laura Roth lives in the Basque Country and holds a PhD in political philosophy, in addition to two small children. She is obsessed with the promotion of a political culture based on democracy and care, from a feminist perspective. In order to do this, she is trying to connect her activism in the municipalist movement with her research and to make these compatible with life and care. She has recently been focusing on the relationship between the feminisation of politics, democracy and municipalism.
