Zulema Beatriz Nacimiento Coronel

Zulema Beatriz Nacimiento Coronel serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Business Management and Marketing within the Faculty of Labor Sciences at the University of Huelva. Her academic work bridges business management with social and solidarity economy frameworks.

Her educational background:

• PhD from the University of Huelva (2016) with thesis "Social representations and local economic development: a strategic proposal for strawberry farmers in the Ypacaraí Lake Basin", supervised by Dr. María O Barroso González and Dr. David Flores Ruiz.

Research focuses on Cooperativism and Gender Studies within Latin American contexts, particularly examining how social representations shape economic development in agricultural communities. Her work integrates feminist perspectives into social economy models, emphasizing Paraguayan case studies and Iberoamerican comparative analysis.

Recent publications (2020-2024) show thematic evolution from foundational Paraguayan cooperativism studies toward broader gender-inclusive social economy frameworks across Iberoamerica. The 2024 article represents a significant geographic expansion while maintaining core methodological approaches in social representation theory.
