About:
We are pleased to welcome Markéta Křížová, Professor of Ibero-American Studies and former Vice-Dean of International Relations at Charles University in Prague, who will be visiting the LAII on February 13-21, 2025. Her research focuses on Early Modern intellectual history, European overseas expansion, colonial history, and cultural encounters. Prof. Křížová is the co-author of the EU-funded project Colonial Legacies of Universities: Materialities and New Collaborations, which explores these themes in collaboration with the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS) in Mexico and other international partners. During her visit, she is eager to connect with UNM faculty and students who share similar research interests, to share insights from her new project and invite discussion.
Join us for an informal brown bag conversation with her on Thursday, February 20, at 12:00 p.m. in the LAII Conference Room—bring your lunch! Light refreshments will be provided. For more information, please contact Lenny A. Ureña Valerio at lurena@unm.edu.
Professor Křížová holds an M.A. in Ethnology and History and a Ph.D. in Ibero-American Studies from Charles University, where she has been a faculty member in the Department of Ibero-American Studies since 2002. Prof. Křížová is the author of numerous scholarly articles and monographs, including Central Europe and the Non-European World in the Long 19th Century (edited with Jitka Malečková, Berlin: Frank & Timme, 2022) and Alois Richard Nykl: Present-Day Mexico (edited with Dagmar Winklerová, Prague: National Museum, 2019). She is currently working on her research project, “Enrique Stanko Vráz between America and Habsburg Austria: Cultural Translations and Collective Identity Making,” supported by a grant from the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies.
