Dr. Raquel Escobar is a historian of 20th-century race, Indigeneity, and political and intellectual history in the Americas. Dr. Escobar is currently working on her first book, which examines transnational Indigenous politics, diplomacy, and shifting 20th-century racial scripts in the U.S. and Latin America. Her work highlights how Indigenous people negotiated and utilized Inter-American state programs and examines the impact of US-sponsored institutions and research across the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.
At UNC, Dr. Escobar regularly teaches Latinos in the U.S. (Hist/Ltam 241) as well as courses on Indigenous histories and settler colonialism. Escobar earned her PhD in History with a minor in American Indian and Indigenous Studies from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining UNC, Escobar was a Mellon/ACLS Public Fellow for the Humanities Action Lab (HAL) at Rutgers University- Newark (2020-22), where she oversaw HAL’s COVID-19 Mass Listening project and helped build a new Mellon funded fellowship program, which aimed to foster leadership from Minority Serving Institutions and frontline communities to use public humanities for climate justice.
