About the Author: Rosalva Aída Hernández earned her doctorate in anthropology from Stanford University in 1996. She is currently a Professor and Senior Researcher at CIESAS, the Center for Research and Advanced Studies in Social Anthropology in Mexico City. Her research interest cover ethnic studies, legal and political anthropology, decolonial feminisms and activist research. One of her projects involves exploring the experience of indigenous women with customary law and national law. In the last five years she has been working with forensic teams and family collectives who search for their disappeared relatives in the Mexican states of Sinaloa, Guerrero and Morelos, and with families of disappeared migrants in Honduras.

About the Book: Transcontinental Dialogues brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous anthropologists from Mexico, Canada, and Australia who work at the intersections of Indigenous rights, advocacy, and action research. These engaged anthropologists explore how obligations manifest in differently situated alliances, how they respond to such obligations, and the consequences for anthropological practice and action.

The Latin American Perspectives Lectureship is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Latin American Perspectives Journal
