Javiera Jaque is an assistant professor of Spanish in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures at Virginia Tech. Her teaching and research incorporate topics such as frontier studies, religious studies, and indigenous migrations in the colonial Latin American period, particularly in the Southern Cone. She has collaborated in three critical editions of colonial manuscripts from the River Plate region, Peru and Chile (16th and 17th centuries). Currently she is working on an edited volume on black and indigenous confraternities that features transregional research on colonial Latin America beyond the Spanish domain to include Brazil in the map of the studied region.
