Margarita Eva Rodríguez García
I earned my PhD in Spanish American History at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (2002). My thesis “criollismo y patria. Los límites del pensamiento ilustrado en el virreinato peruano”, supervised by Professor Pilar Pérez Cantó, focused on creole identity and the Enlightenment in the Viceroyalty of Peru. Previously, I received a Master degree in Latin American History from the Universidad de La Rábida: “Tierras, hombres y dioses. Sociedades agrarias e imaginarios en América Latina” (1997). In my Master's thesis I conducted an in-depth analysis of the treatise “Notables daños que resultan de no guardar a los indios sus fueros (1571)” written by the early chronicler of Peru and jurist Polo de Ondegardo.
Alongside, during this period (1996-2007) I developed a research line focused on Gender history, publishing several articles, and participating in the Historia de las Mujeres en España y América Latina, published by Editorial Cátedra.
In recent years after gaining experience in two different research centers in Portugal (Macau Scientific and Cultural Centre(2008-2009) and Centro de História d´Aquém e d´Além-Mar(The Portuguese Centre for Global History-CHAM)(2009-2015) I have expanded my questions about the Spanish Empire, and the Vice-Reign of Peru, developing a research line on comparative history of the Iberian Empires and the history of science, with emphasys on botany, which I would to consolidate next years.
As a postdoctoral fellow in CHAM, I was engaged in a project entitled “Um lugar no mundo: o Brasil e a América hispânica nos laboratórios do Iluminismo”. The purpose of this project was to analyze, comprehensibly, the expeditions of Hipólito Ruiz, Antonio Pavón and Joseph Dombey to the Peruvian Viceroyalty, and those of Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira to the captaincy of Grão-Pará, Mato Grosso and Rio Negro in the final decades of the eighteenth century.
I am passionate about teaching. Prior to working in Portugal, I was responsible in the Department of Early Modern History at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid of a course on European Colonial Expansión (15th-19th century)
In Portugal, I teached two courses to undergradated students: History of Spain (18th-20th century) and History of the Spanish Empire. In the second case, the course focused on the history of Colonial Spanish America.
At the level of post-graduate, since 2009 I coordinated with Alicia Campos the course "El encuentro colonial: historia, política y antropología that forms part of the Master Program: Relaciones Internacionales y Estudios Africanos of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. This course provides an introduction to the history of various empires (Ottoman, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese Ming ...) emphasizing governance strategies
I participate regularly in post-graduate programs at the University Pablo Olavide of Seville (Master and PdD program “América Latina. Mundos Indígenas”)

En la segunda parte del programa, hemos viajado hasta México para hablar con la antropóloga Cecilia Rodríguez Beaudoin quien nos compartió su trabajo de investigación relacionado con el arte popular, las pinturas de papel amate, que representan una forma de transmisión de la memoria colectiva para los pueblos nahuas de México, pero también una forma de denuncia de los malos gobiernos, la imposición de empresas hidroeléctricas o de licencias para mineras.
En la tercera parte del programa tenemos todo aquello que siempre quisiste saber sobre historia global y nunca te atreviste a preguntar. Para resolver esta cuestión hemos preparado varias mini-entrevistas a James Amelang (UAM), Margarita Rodriguez (CHAM-UNL), Darina Martykanova (UAM) y Juan Pan-Montojo (UAM), en las que hemos conversado sobre la importancia de la historia global así como las críticas y los retos que implica. A través de sus voces os ofrecemos una reflexión sobre el papel actual de la historia y su relación con el presente.
En la música, escuchamos:
Du nord au sud, de Noir Desir
Sheeps go to heaven, de Cake
