Biography

Grounded in a deep belief in the transformative power of art and the humanities to advance social justice and human rights, Anne Lambright is drawn to creative cultural production—literature, film, performance, and visual arts—as sites of resistance against the dominant culture. Her research focuses on race, ethnicity, and Andean literature and culture, with particular attention to the role of Indigenous and Indigenous-mestizo peoples in Peruvian national discourse and identity. Lambright's major works include a monograph titled 'Creating Hybrid Intellectuals: Subject, Space, Feminine Narrative in José María Arguedas' and 'Andean Truths: Transitional Justice, Ethnicity, Cultural Production Post-Shining Path Peru,' which received the Modern Language Association’s Katherine Singer Kovacs Prize. Additionally, Lambright is co-editor of 'Unfolding City: Women Write City Latin America.' Her future projects explore multimedia representations of Chickasaw storytelling, including the work of Te Ata Thompson, and the complexities of transnational Quechua cultural networks and global indigeneity.
