Thoughts

>> Job-wise,
I am a social science researcher: I read, collect data, write, guide theses and complain about university bureaucracy.<<

That sounds fascinating. I like social engineering: efforts to lift the hood of society and fix what's broke.

>> Leisure-wise,
I'm learning to bind fanfiction; I'm a very amateurish member of the Renegade Publishing guild. <<

Awesome! I've seen bookbinders at Renaissance faires. Marbling paper is a popular accompaniment.

>>I am anxious about the successful completion of the constitutional reform in my country.<<

I can see how that would be nerve-wracking. I hope it goes well for you.

>>Though I don't write much on the subject, my social and political views are born from the horrors of a childhood and adolescence spent under an alt-right dictatorship. I feel strongly about human rights violations of any kind.<<

My sympathies. The United States has some serious problems from the far-right attacking human rights. More insidious is the creeping tide of utilitarianism. "You can very easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him." The results of that analysis are often disturbing.
