Reguillo has an ample academic work that positions her as a prominent social scientist in Latin America. Her academic rigor and passion have led her to both analyze social phenomena and to promote social change. For example, her academic analyses of the 1992 drainage explosions in Guadalajara or the participation of youth in the Mara Salvatrucha were not based on an aseptic scientific attitude, which understands research subjects as individuals from which to obtain data in order to elaborate conclusions. Instead, she has constantly assumed a position (positionality) where her roles both as a social researcher and also as a citizen have allowed her to frame a nuance understanding of social issues leading to social change.
