Dr Rebecca Ogden is senior lecturer in Modern Languages, Media and Culture studies, with an expertise in Mexico and Cuba and a particular interest in understanding health inequalities and the cultural politics of reproductive health.

Her current project, an AHRC-funded Research, Development and Engagement fellowship (2023-2025), focuses on adolescent sexual and reproductive health and young parenthood in Mexico, Cuba and Colombia.

A previous British Academy/Leverhulme funded project focused on the representation of the politics of childbirth and midwifery in contemporary Mexican cultural production. Rebecca coordinates a podcast about the cultural politics of reproduction in Latin America, called Cuerpa Politica.

Before joining the ±¬ÁÏTV in September 2023, Rebecca worked at the University of Kent and in universities in Mexico and Argentina. She completed an AHRC-funded PhD at the University of Manchester on the dynamics of affect in contemporary Cuban tourism.
