Margarita Huayhua (PhD, University of Michigan, 2010; Anthropology) currently is a Mellon Sawyer Fellow at the Native American and Indigenous Studies Program (NAIS) and the Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS) at UT Austin. Huayhua is a native speaker of Quechua language; born and raised in a Quechua-speaking community in Peru. Her research revolves around the cultures of the Andes, especially on problems of power and social domination in a comparative, Latin America-wide perspective. Her research interests include interactions that take place across cultures, in which distinct moralities and social ontologies help to shape relationships of hierarchy. Among her publications are “Racism and Social Interaction in a Southern Peruvian combi” (2013) Ethnic and Racial Studies; “Everyday Discrimination in the Southern Andes” (2013) Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut: Estudios Indiana, Berlin; “Some Issues in Translating Quechua” (2009), STILLA; Public Health Policies and Indigenous Population (2005), Instituto de Estudios Peruanos; and “The Exclusion of the Runa as Subject of Rights in Perú” (1999), Bulletin de I’Institut Français d’Études Andines.

The Mellon Sawyer Faculty Seminar is a collaborative project between Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) and Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies (LLILAS) at The University of Texas at Austin
