Carmen completed her BA in Philosophy with honors (special awards) at the University of Murcia (UM). She then completed two master's degrees: one in Religious and Cultural studies at the University of Pablo Olavide (UPO) and the other in Education and Philosophy at UM. She is currently completing her Ph.D. working on the experimental psychology of time and its variations across cultures and religions, under the supervision of Prof. Julio Santiago at the University of Granada (UGR).
She is working on the international TIME project in which several psychological dimensions about the representation of the past and the future are studied. Right now she is focused on studying how the social situation as a consequence of COVID-19 is affecting people's temporal thought and religiosity. To do this, she works with data from participants from various countries (USA, Spain, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Morocco, Turkey, and China) that vary in their religiosity and their main religion (Christians, Muslims, Jews, as well as non-believers).
She has done three international research stays during her PhD: the first one at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Banja Luka with Prof. Slavica Tutnjevic (2018; 3 months; funding: Erasmus+); the second one at Boston University and the Center for Mind and Culture with Prof. Wesley Wildman (2019; 3 months; funding: Spanish Ministry of Economy); and the third at the University of California, Santa Barbara, with Prof. Ann Taves (2021-2022; 7 months as a Fulbright Scholar).
She seeks to pursue her postdoctoral stage in the field of cognitive science and religious and cultural studies.
