Biography / Academic Interests
:
Professor Echeverri specializes in colonial Latin American history and the comparative study of revolutions in the Atlantic world with a particular emphasis on race, ethnicity, slavery, and the law.
Dr. Echeverri is currently completing her book manuscript, tentatively entitled “Popular Royalists and Revolution in Colombia, 1780-1820.” This project examines the participation of Indians and slaves in the royalist forces that rose in defense of the colonial order in southwestern New Granada during the crisis of the Spanish monarchy between 1808 and 1825, and seeks to explain why and how people who were the objects of imperial rule became its defenders.
Dr. Echeverri has been a fellow of the Instituto Colombiano de Antropología e Historia (Bogotá, Colombia); the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and Fundación Mapfre (Madrid, Spain); the John Carter Brown Library; NYU’s Humanities Initiative; and Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis. She also received research grants from Harvard’s Atlantic History Seminar, CUNY’s Research Foundation, and the Dean of Humanities at CSI; participated in Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Africana Studies 2009 NEH Summer Institute; and was a postdoctoral fellow at University of Maryland’s Latin American Studies Center in fall 2009.
Dr. Echeverri is currently Mellon Resident Fellow at the Center for the Humanities in the Graduate Center.
