Laura MilanesLaura Milanes (Laura M. Milanes-Reyes) received her Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology at University at Albany, State University of New York. She was awarded a Fulbright grant to complete a M.A. in Sociology from the University at Albany after earning a B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from University of the Andes (Colombia). Her research addresses meaning-making about the economic sphere, using the insights of cultural and economic sociology. Her dissertation examined the media’s construction of The Great Recession and the 1998 crisis in Colombia. This project compared the civic logics in the U.S., part of the Global North, to those found in Colombia, a country of the Global South. It also examined the prevalence of civic logics versus other institutional logics in the media coverage of these crises. Laura co-authored with Elizabeth Popp Berman “The Politicization of Knowledge Claims: The ‘Laffer Curve’ in the U.S. Congress” (Qualitative Sociology, 2013) and has also undertaken a project examining CEO personal profiles in two media outlets.
