Her research explores the intersection of Counter-Reformation theology and Mexican origin myths, particularly how colonial histories were rewritten to legitimize Spanish dominance while reshaping indigenous identities. She investigates religious syncretism through festivals, dramaturgy, and biblical reinterpretations.
Recent publications include a 2019 article in History Today analyzing empire myths and a 2015 monograph on Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s auto sacramentales. Her work reveals patterns in colonial historiography, gendered religious narratives, and transatlantic cultural exchange.
Dr. Fuller contributes to public history through History Today magazine, podcasts, and BBC Radio 4 appearances. She supervises M3C-funded PhD projects on Spain-Mexico relations (with University of Nottingham and University of Leicester) and teaches modules like HIST20417: The Eagle and the Snake.
