GRANTEE

She has also taken seminars on education and public policies at Flacso, the University of Torcuato Di Tella, ColumbiaX, HarvardX, Amnesty International, Reuters, and The Knight Center. 

Bazan was a scriptwriter and columnist on national television, has produced and starred in history videos for social networks, and collaborated with local and foreign newspapers, like elDiario.es. She specializes in gender and education, and is a part of a Latin American network of young journalists (Red LATAM). 

For the past four years, Bazan has worked for Clarín, the most important newspaper in Argentina. She is a Rosalynn Carter Center fellow and has also won several awards from the World's Editors Forum and the Argentinian Society of Medicine, as well as grants from the International Women's Foundation and other institutions, such as Unesco and the UN.

Throughout her career, Bazan has held various positions at national and international media outlets. Her goal has always been the same: to bring science, environmental, historical, and gender issues to the non-expert public; and to generate content that makes an impact, pushing for social changes. Recently, she has been chosen as a young woman leader by Vital Voices South America.
