About Me.
My name is Sebastián León-Giraldo, and I am a researcher based in Bogotá, Colombia. I am in the final year of my PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies on Development at Universidad de Los Andes. In addition to my doctoral studies, I work as a research professional at the Center for Sustainable Development Goals for Latin America and the Caribbean. I founded the NGO Fundación Poder del Arte, a think tank dedicated to exploring the transformative power of art to foster social change and community well-being. My research passion lies at the intersection of the arts with LGBTQ+ studies, public health, human rights and development studies. I strongly believe that integrating these fields can lead to innovative solutions for complex social issues.
