About
Welcome! My name is Marianne Quijano. I'm currently a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Florida specializing in Latin American and Caribbean History.
My work and interests are largely centered on cultural and intellectual histories of postcolonial-era Central America and the Caribbean. My dissertation in progress, "A Primordial Whiteness: Race, Science, and Religion in Twentieth-Century Panama" examines the relationship between evolutionary discourses and racial mythologies in modern Panama from the 1900s until the 1970s.
