Anna Cant is a Latin American historian specializing in twentieth-century politics, cultural history, and rural development.

Currently, Dr. Cant is developing a new research project that explores the history of Catholic radio in the Andean region and continues to teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses within her department. Additionally, she has shared her expertise on multiple platforms, including podcasts and conferences, focusing on themes related to agrarian reform and communication technologies in Latin America.
