Calla Cameron
I recently completed my doctoral studies and successfully defended my dissertation May 1, 2025, and now hold a PhD in Latin American History from the Georgetown University Department of History.
My dissertation project considered how the Internal Armed Conflict (1980~2000) and the resulting Commission for Truth and Reconciliation impacted a rural community called Quinua in the Huamanga region of Ayacucho, Peru. From May- December 2022, I used a Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Award to conduct oral history interviews and fieldwork to center this dissertation in the community of Quinua. Though my research lies in Peru, I have extensive experience traveling and working for a small organization called Adopta Una Familia in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and am passionate about researching and developing transitional justice across Latin America!
I am a New Englander at heart residing in Washington, DC with my two cats and a rescue greyhound named Spaghetti.
