Ball State UniversityUnited States

Abel Alves serves as Professor of History at Ball State University within the Department of History, College of Sciences and Humanities. His academic office is located in Burkhardt Building, Room 216, where he conducts research and teaching focused on Colonial Latin America and Early Modern Europe. Alves maintains an active scholarly profile with recent publications reflecting his interdisciplinary approach to historical analysis. Alves' research centers on ethological approaches to history and animal studies, examining human-animal interactions within imperial contexts. His work challenges conventional historical narratives by positioning non-human actors as central to understanding colonial power structures and environmental change. This perspective reveals how animal agency shaped societal development across the Atlantic World, particularly in Spanish imperial territories. His scholarship demonstrates a clear evolution from early ethological analyses of Mexican colonial formation toward contemporary engagements with the Anthropocene. Recent publications increasingly address decolonial frameworks and environmental justice, connecting historical animal studies to current ecological crises. This trajectory reflects growing scholarly recognition of non-human influences in historical processes. Alves' distinguished contributions have earned significant recognition: First recipient of the Miriam Chrisman Award from the Society for Reformation Research Ball State University's Hurley Goodall Distinguished Faculty Award (1997) Lawhead Award for teaching excellence in the University Core Curriculum (2000) His 2016 invitation to present at University College London's international symposium 'Animals in Visual Hispanism' confirms ongoing scholarly impact. While specific grant funding and student mentorship details aren't documented in available materials, his continuous publication record since the 1990s indicates sustained research productivity. Alves' work remains firmly situated within historical methodology while actively engaging interdisciplinary conversations about human-animal relationships.

University of Colorado, DenverUnited States

Ryan D. Crewe is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Colorado Denver, specializing in Colonial Latin American History, Pacific World studies, and Early Modern Global History. His research examines the power dynamics of early colonialism and their connection to structural injustices today, with particular focus on histories of resilience and resistance across continents and oceans. Dr. Crewe earned his Ph.D. in History from Yale University in 2009, following an M.A. from Yale in 2003 and a B.A. in History from the University of California at Davis in 2000. Dr. Crewe's research centers on the complex interactions between Indigenous communities and colonial powers in the early modern period. His award-winning book, The Mexican Mission: Indigenous Reconstitution and Mendicant Enterprise (Cambridge, 2019), explores how Indigenous communities maintained cohesion amid colonial invasion, epidemics, and economic exploitation. His current work expands this analysis to a transpacific scale, examining Spanish American colonial experiences in relation to Asian port cities like Manila and the global spice trade in the Moluccas during the 1520s-1540s. His scholarship reveals how colonial encounters created complex patterns of cultural exchange, resistance, and adaptation that continue to shape global power structures. Dr. Crewe's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on transpacific connections in early modern history, with particular attention to religious dynamics, cultural exchanges, and the experiences of marginalized communities. His work bridges Latin American, Asian, and global history, revealing how colonial processes operated across oceanic boundaries. A recurring theme is the examination of how religious institutions both facilitated and challenged colonial power structures, particularly through missionary activities and the Inquisition.

Graz University of TechnologyAustria

Francisco de Borja Franco Llopis serves as Professor of Art History at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) within the Faculty of Geography and History . His scholarly focus centers on visual representations of otherness, particularly examining Muslim-Christian relations, Morisco communities, and critical race theory within medieval and early modern Mediterranean contexts. He actively contributes to international research networks including COST Action 18129 on Islamic Legacies. His research interests explore visual and literary constructions of otherness through interdisciplinary lenses combining art history, critical race theory, and migration studies. Franco Llopis investigates how race, religious identity, and cultural difference were visually articulated in European societies from the 14th to 18th centuries, with particular attention to Iberian visual culture. His work reveals how artistic production functioned as both reflection and active agent in shaping intercultural relations across the Mediterranean basin. Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent thematic trajectories across three domains: visual politics of religious difference (examining Morisco and Muslim representations), material culture of Mediterranean exchange (focusing on objects and textiles), and ceremonial constructions of power (studying royal entries and funerary monuments). His methodological approach integrates technical art analysis with critical theory to uncover hidden narratives within canonical works. Ramón y Cajal Scholarship Santander Iberoamérica Scholarship Leonardo Scholarship (BBVA Foundation) Gondra Barandiarán Junior Fellowship (Prado Museum) Fellow Member, Young Academy of Spain As Principal Investigator for three Spanish Research Projects and working group leader for COST Action 18129, Franco Llopis directs significant collaborative initiatives examining Mediterranean cultural legacies.
