Alejandra Zuluaga is a Research Officer at the Health+Law partnership, University of New South Wales, and an associate member of the GLaD program. 

Alejandra has a background in political science and development studies. She completed her PhD at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society (ARCSHS) and the Gender, Law and Drugs (GLaD) research program at La Trobe University. Her doctoral research examined the intersections of coca cultivation, gender, and human rights in the Colombian peace process, contributing new knowledge on the coloniality of drug policy and the ontopolitical dimensions of rights. Her broader research explores connections between drugs, gender, and human and non-human rights. Her interests include development studies and how the links between drugs, gender, sexuality, and rights are understood and practised in policy design and implementation.

Her research is informed by science and technology studies, Latin American feminist theory, and decolonial theory.
