Biography:
Deirdre de la Cruz received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2006. She joins the Departments of History and Asian Languages and Cultures after spending three years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Michigan Society of Fellows. Her current book project is a historical and ethnographic examination of several apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the Philippines from the mid nineteenth century to the present, especially as they articulate with projects and practices of colonial and post-colonial modernity. In addition to Philippine history and ethnography, her research interests include theories of religion, colonialism and conversion, visual culture, histories and theories of the mass media.
