AB - Spanish: Research is a necessary tool for understanding contemporary sociocultural problems. A deep understanding, realized through rigorous analysis, is an opportunity to formulate answers and solutions to dynamic and changing problems that affect society and need constant attention. This presentation drives on the debates of applied and gender anthropology with the purpose of reflecting on two specifically, interrelated dimensions: first, the role of public anthropology as a fundamental tool to understand and analyze  contemporary sociocultural problems, focusing on its potential in the search for concrete solutions to them. Second, I will focus on the urgent need to continue crossing our research projects with a gender perspective, considered as a category of analysis that allows us to reveal the ways in which the gender order and patriarchal power relations operate in the contexts of investigative work and in our own research process. This theoretical-methodological reflection will drive on my doctoral thesis fieldwork that focuses on the production of a humanitarian border in the State of Puebla, Mexico, from a gender and feminist perspective. Specifically, the role of anthropological research will be highlighted, which, from a feminist position, serves as a tool to define the ways in which gender operates in this context of migratory transit and affects the lives and projects of migrant women.
