Nuria Sanchez serves as Assistant Professor at the LIVES Centre (Interdisciplinary Centre for Research on Life Course and Vulnerabilities) within the University of Neuchâtel. Her academic profile centers on sociological investigations of family dynamics, temporal structures, and vulnerability during societal crises, with institutional affiliation to Switzerland's national research infrastructure for life course studies.
Her research program critically examines time perception in family contexts, particularly focusing on life course transitions, work-family articulation among lone parents, and subjective well-being measurement. Methodologically, she integrates longitudinal panel data with qualitative life-course approaches to analyze how structural disruptions like pandemics reshape temporal agency and family practices, emphasizing gendered experiences and post-separation dynamics.
Publication analysis (2021-2024) reveals three dominant trajectories: 1) Temporal reorganization during crises (pandemic lockdowns), 2) Conceptual innovations in life course theory (relative time frameworks), and 3) Methodological advances in well-being measurement. Her work consistently centers marginalized populations—particularly lone parents—while bridging micro-level time experiences with macro-social transformations through Swiss Household Panel data.
No scientific awards were documented in available sources.
While student supervision details remain unspecified, her active co-authorship with researchers like Laura Bernardi and Benjamin Moles-Kalt suggests collaborative mentorship within the LIVES network. No grant funding information appears in current records, though her Swiss Household Panel publications imply access to national research infrastructure.
Sanchez operates within the LIVES Centre—a Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR)—which facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration across 15+ Swiss institutions to study life course vulnerabilities through longitudinal methodologies, with particular emphasis on family transitions, health inequalities, and social policy impacts.
