Carlos José Celis


My name is Carlos José Celis. I am a PhD candidate in Public and Urban Policy at The New School. My research topics include social reproduction theories and the politics of science and technology. 

I have worked as a policy and design practitioner and researcher in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and the United States. Currently, I am a doctoral fellow at the Graduate Institute for Design, Ethnography & Social Thought (GIDEST), and I also work at the Urban Space Lab researching the aftermath of COVID-19 on immigrant caregiving systems in Queens, New York. 

I hold a BA in Design (2017) and a Master in Public Policy (2020) from Universidad de Los Andes, Colombia, and an MPhil (2024) from The New School.
