Ana Escauriaza Escudero

Ana Escauriaza Escudero is a Researcher at the University of Navarra's Centro de Estudios Josemaría Escrivá (CEJE), actively contributing to the Historia del Opus Dei and NVM Narrativa, violencia y memoria research groups.

Her academic credentials include:

• Doctorate from Universidad del País Vasco (2022) with thesis: La Universidad ante ETA. Violencia, silencio y resistencia (1959-2011), supervised by Dr. Gaizka Fernández Soldevilla and Dr. Santiago De Pablo Contreras

Her research critically examines 20th-century Spanish institutional responses to terrorism, particularly ETA's impact on universities, while exploring intersections of violence, historical memory, and narrative construction in contemporary Spain. This work bridges political history with trauma studies through the lens of Catholic intellectual movements like Opus Dei.

Dr. Escudero's collaborative framework involves cross-disciplinary teams analyzing how educational institutions navigated political violence through resistance, silence, and archival preservation during Spain's transition to democracy.
