She got her Master's degree there, and she defended her doctoral thesis it in 1967 –with Philips Kaberry and Mary Douglas as her doctoral advisors.

From that moment she dedicated her career mainly to the study of the gypsy communities of Madrid and Catalonia, althought she also worked with Senegambians and issues related to the elderly.

"It is one thing to do applied Anthropology, and it is an other thing to become nobody's representative."
