His doctoral thesis, on longitudinal analyses of poverty in the Partido de Tres de Febrero during the Argentine socio-economic crisis of the early 2000s, was later published as Los desafíos del análisis del tiempo en Ciencias Sociales.[3]
Academic career
Since the late 1990s, Oliva has taught research methods and statistics in Argentine higher education. At the National University of Tres de Febrero he has been an associate professor and researcher since 1998 and director of the tourism undergraduate programme since 2020; he is also a member of the university's Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios Avanzados (CIEA).[4] He has participated in master's and doctoral programmes in social sciences and research methodology, including the Master’s in Generation and Analysis of Statistical Information (UNTREF–INDEC) and the Doctorate in Social Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires.[4]
Oliva has also collaborated with public institutions in the areas of tourism statistics and social indicators and has taken part in academic activities in other Latin American universities.[5] Since 2021 he has served as president of the Asociación de Sociólogos de la República Argentina (ASRA).[6]
Research and publications
Oliva's research has focused on the use of quantitative methods in the social sciences, especially longitudinal analysis of poverty and the application of social network analysis to institutional and territorial studies.[7][8] His doctoral work on trajectories of income poverty in the Partido de Tres de Febrero was developed within research projects at UNTREF and later published as Los desafíos del análisis del tiempo en Ciencias Sociales.[9]
Together with Carlos F. De Angelis, Oliva co-authored Investigación social para el análisis de la opinión pública y el comportamiento electoral, a methodological guide to survey research and electoral studies.[10] The book was reviewed in the Revista Latinoamericana de Opinión Pública, which highlighted its contribution to the empirical study of public opinion and electoral behaviour.[11]
Oliva has also co-authored work on music-based assessment tools for cognitive functions in adults with acquired brain injury and on the labour market effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina.[12][13]
