Beatriz Juárez
Dr. Beatriz Juárez Rodríguez is a Co-Applicant on the project and one of the Surviving Memory founding members. Following a collaborative and participatory methodology, Dr. Juárez Rodríguez's research team is working on a historical memory community book in Las Vueltas community in Chalatenango, El Salvador, that aims to revitalize the local history of this community from the voices and perspectives of their members to amplify, document, preserve, and disseminate diverse local historical memories, cultural practices, and collective actions that have been silenced by official historical narratives. Dr. Juárez Rodríguez is currently developing the project “Graphic Narratives of the War: Memory, Social Justice and Comics in Chalatenango”. This project emerges from community consultations and aims to create a series of gendered graphic narratives about wartime in Chalatenango as pedagogical tools to strengthen community members’ connection with their past, imagine their futures, and boost intergenerational dialogues. Dr. Juárez Rodríguez's teaching and research interests include Afrodescendants’ rights, race and racism, social movement, anthropology of the state, Black and Afro-Latin feminisms, memory and territory, African diaspora, social justice, and collaborative methodologies. Her publications and community-based research projects focus on Ecuador, El Salvador, and Venezuela
