Rodó-Zárate is especially interested in feminist geographies, and the geographies of sexualities and youth. She also develops specific methodologies for the study of intersectionality, such as her Relief Maps of experiences that can be used to study inequalities, and which won the Ramon Molinas Award for the best social impact project. She has been a visiting researcher in the US, Brazil and Ireland. She is currently leading the INTERMAPS project that maps inequalities, funded by an ERC Starting Grant.
