Angela Gutierrez is a Research Associate at Bielefeld University, affiliated with the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1288 Practices of Comparison – Ordering and Changing the World, specifically contributing to Subproject F01 [A03] titled (World) Orders and Future Concepts: Racist Comparison Practices in the Caribbean (1791–1912). She is based in the Department of History within the Faculty of History, Philosophy and Theology and is a member of the Global and Interconnected History research group. Additionally, she is a doctoral researcher at the Bielefeld Graduate School in History and Sociology.
Her research focuses on the intersections of race, nation, and utopian thought in Cuba between 1880 and 1912. Her work is situated within global and colonial history, with a strong emphasis on Latin American and Inter-American studies. She employs practice theory and praxeology to analyze how racial categories were constructed and contested, particularly in the aftermath of the 1912 massacre in Cuba. Her current research also explores comparative practices in historical contexts, especially in relation to standardization and globalization.
Ms. Gutierrez has been actively engaged in research since 2016, completing a Master's program focused on national and racial entanglements in Cuba, and has held research positions within the same faculty since 2020. Her academic trajectory reflects a deep commitment to understanding the legacies of colonialism and racism through microhistorical and interconnected lenses. While no publications or awards are listed in the provided text, her participation in a major DFG-funded collaborative research center underscores the significance and interdisciplinary nature of her scholarly contributions.
She is advised by Prof. Dr. Angelika Epple and Prof. Dr. Eleonora Rohland in her subproject. Although no students are listed under her supervision, her role as a doctoral researcher suggests she is actively contributing to the academic training environment. She is not part-time and remains an active member of the university’s research community.
