Eduardo Douglas

Eduardo Douglas serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, specializing in colonial and modern Latin American art with a concentrated focus on Brazil, Cuba, and Mexico.

He earned his Ph.D. in the History of Art from the University of Texas, Austin in 2000.

Professor Douglas's research traverses Latin American Art, Colonial Art, and Modern Art, with deep engagement in Brazilian, Cuban, and Mexican contexts; his work critically examines indigenous-colonial visual culture intersections in early colonial Mexico, particularly manuscript painting and pre-Hispanic historical representation in Tetzcoco.

His award-winning book In the Palace of Nezahualcoyotl: Painting Manuscripts, Writing the Pre-Hispanic Past in Early Colonial Period Tetzcoco, Mexico (University of Texas Press, 2010) co-won the 2011 ALAA book prize, while his scholarly articles in Art Journal and Art Bulletin demonstrate consistent contributions to Latin American art historiography.

Though his research appears in major publications like the LACMA exhibition catalog Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World (2011-12), no details regarding graduate student advising or research grants are provided in available sources.
