My name is Marianne Quijano, and 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 examines the history of race, sovereignty, and space in twentieth-century Panama from the 1900s until the 1970s, both inside and outside the Canal Zone.
My research has been featured at Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, the History of Science Society, the Latin American History Speaker Series at Yale University, the Southeastern Council of Latin American Studies, and in the NACLA Report on the Americas. I was also a 2022-2023 Research Fellow at the Consortium for History of Science, Technology and Medicine.
