Bio
Dr. Sandra Londono-Ardila is a transnational educator and historian. Her research focuses on the relationship between religion, culture, and politics in modern and contemporary Latin America. Her interdisciplinary background, which includes degrees in Anthropology and Education, has allowed her to explore multiple edges of the production of culture and politics, through experiences of Catholic Action developed by the Church, involving clergy, lay actors, and social movements in Latin America. Subfields in her research encompass peasant education and modernization in Colombia, intellectual circulation and appropriation of Catholic thought, and the practice of General and Specialized Catholic Action approaches, Latin American thought and politics, lay activism, and student movements in Latin America.
Dr. Londono served as Secretary of the Digital Archive of Religion in Latin America and the Caribbean, a project by the Latin American Interdisciplinary Initiative on Religion at FIU.
