1990

1997

She is a member of the editorial board of the Feminism Collection of the Editorial Chair and member of the editorial board of the journal Politics and Society of the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology (since 1997), and writes for various media.

Castaño has dedicated several works to the analysis of the gender digital divide, and has investigated and warned about the existence of the "second digital gender gap", referring not only to inequality in access, but also in the different use that men and women make of technology.

"The relevance of the first division or digital divide is related above all to the quality of Internet access. But the technical availability and the quality of the access are a necessary, though not sufficient, condition for access. Access to the Internet is a social phenomenon and the social conditions of access are important. Among them, the most relevant is the ability to use technologies, what we have called digital literacy or digital fluency, which constitute the cutting lines of the second digital division."
