Alcira Dueñas

Alcira Dueñas studies the history and culture of colonial and early modern Latin America, with a particular focus on Indigenous peoples in the Andean region (especially Peru and Ecuador) under Spanish rule. Their work examines topics such as Indigenous legal strategies, land and boundary disputes, gender and Indigenous women leaders, missionary education, and cross-Atlantic relationships between Spain and its American colonies. This research draws on archival and historical methods to understand how colonized populations negotiated identity, justice, and authority within the Spanish empire.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, generally producing one to three items per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
