Meet our speaker
José Rojas Alvarado
I am a Costa Rican based in the UK. I studied Political Sciences at the Universidad de Costa Rica and did an MSc in International Development at the University of Bristol. My career spans academia and international development, with my current role in the Policy Engagement Team at the University of Oxford. Previously, I worked with the Inter-American Development Bank in Costa Rica on a project aimed at reducing youth criminality in vulnerable communities. I also lecture in development studies in Latin America at the undergraduate level and am a member of the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers youth group. Outside of work, I'm a devoted coffee enthusiast who enjoys exploring new culinary experiences and engaging in spontaneous, thought-provoking conversations with people I encounter.
