Hugo RuedaSupervisor: Professor Alberto Cambrosio hugo.rueda [at] mcgill.ca BioI am a Chilean scholar and museum practitioner, committed to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue within the humanities. My academic journey reflects this commitment, culminating in a Ph.D. in Cultural History from Concordia University in 2023. Prior to this, I obtained an MA in Cultural Studies (2014) and a BA in History (2009), both from the University of Chile. My formal education has been further enriched by participating in international internships at the University of Barcelona (2023), the Ibero-American Institute in Berlin (2017), and El Colegio de M茅xico in Mexico City (2012). Alongside my academic pursuits, I have worked extensively as a researcher specializing in heritage materials and as a curator for various museum exhibitions. Research InterestsRooted in the tenets of cultural history, my research identifies current and problematic colonial narratives, aiming to trace their cultural origins. By doing so, I aim to unveil the culturally constructed nature of Western epistemologies, facilitating the integration of non-Western perspectives into our understanding of everyday practices such as collecting, care, and healing. These interests align closely with my role as a postdoctoral researcher at the SSoM. By critically examining the Maude Abbott Museum collection, I seek to provide new insights into the historical, cultural, and bioethical significance of human and biological remains within museum contexts.
