Aimee Villarreal, PhD, Associate Professor of Mexican American Studies, is participating in the University of New Mexico’s Scholars-in-Residence Program as a short-term Visiting Research Scholar for the Summer 2021 term.

Dr. Villarreal is completing revisions to her book, “Sanctuaryscapes in the New Mexico Borderlands,” which traces diverse mobilizations of sanctuary in New Mexico and the Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas border regions. 

The eight-week residency allows Dr. Villarreal to secure community feedback and permissions to publish her book.
