Dr. Lucía Isabel Stavig is an Assistant Professor of Global Health Governance in the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, within the Department of International Studies at Indiana University Bloomington. Prior to this appointment, she was a CRRES Postdoctoral Fellow and Visiting Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University, as well as a Penn-Mellon Just Futures Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Stavig holds a PhD in Cultural and Medical Anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2022), a Master’s in Anthropology from the University of Lethbridge, Canada (2017), a Master’s in Justice and Social Inquiry from Arizona State University (2013), and a Bachelor of Arts from New College of Florida (2010). Lucía is Peruvian-American and has had the honor of learning with Indigenous communities across Turtle Island and Abya Yala, including Tzotzil and Tzeltal Maya peoples in Chiapas, Mexico; the Rama people in Nicaragua; the Ñhäñhú (Otomí) in Hidalgo, Mexico; the Kainai (Blackfoot Confederacy) in southern Alberta, and Runa (Quechua) peoples of the Cusco region of Peru. Lucía’s research explores how Indigenous peoples’ struggles for health and wellbeing are also political defenses of their lands and more-than-human relations. Specifically, her work in reproductive and Indigenous justice follows the efforts of First Peoples—from southern Canada to southern Peru—to heal from colonial reproductive violences, including forced sterilization, forced contraception, obstetric violence, and genocide, to create Indigenous futures for generations to come.
