Inmaculada Alva Rodríguez

Dr. Inmaculada Alva Rodríguez serves as a Researcher at the University of Navarra's Centro de Estudios Josemaría Escrivá (CEJE), actively contributing to the Historia del Opus Dei and GIHRE Historia reciente research groups. Her multidisciplinary background bridges historical and theological scholarship with institutional analysis of Catholic movements.

• Doctor by Universidad de Córdoba (1993): Thesis on municipal administration in Spanish colonial Manila (16th-17th centuries)
• Doctor by University of Navarra (2002): Analysis of theologian Francisco Javier Alegre's work (1729-1788)
• Doctor by University of Navarra (2007): Study of Jean Danielou's perspectives on Christianity and world religions (1905-1974)

Her research integrates ecclesiastical history with colonial studies, examining institutional development through primary source analysis of Catholic theological frameworks. Specialized expertise includes the socio-political dimensions of religious movements in Hispanic contexts and modern Catholic intellectual history.

Current collaborative work focuses on documenting the historical trajectory of Opus Dei through archival research within the CEJE framework. Ongoing projects explore intersections between religious thought and cultural identity formation in Spanish-speaking societies across three centuries.
