Dr. Margarita R. Ochoa is Associate Professor of History at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA. She’s a specialist in Latin American history, law, and society. Her research draws from archival sources in Spanish and Nahuatl to recover Indigenous voices in urban, legal, and cultural histories of Latin America. She is currently completing a monograph, Indigenous Mexico City, which examines how Indigenous residents navigated law, community, and identity in the late colonial capital. She is co-editor of Cacicas: The Female Indigenous Leaders of Spanish America, 1492-1825 (Univ of Oklahoma press, 2021) and City Indians in Spain’s American Empire (Sussex Academic Press, 2012), and author of multiple book chapters and articles on gender, law, and the history of emotions in Latin America.
