Research:
Gender studies, sexuality, ethnicity, tourism and globalization

Juárez' research focuses on issues of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, tourism and globalization among Latinas/os in the United States and in Latin America, especially among Mayas in Quintana Roo, Mexico. She has also published on Mexican American children's literature and urban archaeology. Her most recent publications appeared in The Journal of Latin American Anthropology, Human Organization, Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, and Latin American Indian Literatures Journal.

Dr. Juárez often travels to Tulum, Quintana Roo, and is happy to collaborate with students on research projects. She is currently working on an oral history project to document Maya social, cultural, economic, and political activities during the early 20th century. Students could also work with Dr. Juárez on research projects on Mexican American culture and history in San Marcos, or on Mexican American children's literature, especially with the Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award Committee.
