Nicanor Domínguez

Nicanor Domínguez, visiting scholar at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will spend the 2006-2007 academic year at Kellogg.

During this time, he will research “Pillars of the Monarchy or the Critical Consciousness of the Colony? Criollo and Mestizo Priests in the Colonial Peruvian Church,” in which he will study the historical paradox of the Catholic Church’s role in promoting stability in colonial Peru while many clerics promoted political unrest by criticizing the colonial establishment.

Domínguez holds a PhD in history from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
