Ñusta Carranza Ko is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Baltimore. She is of Indigenous Peruvian (Quechua-speaking peoples from the Northern Andes of Peru) and Korean descent. Her research sits at the intersection of her ethnic identities, with a focus on cross-regional transitional justice practices in Latin America and Asia, historic women’s rights violations in South Korea, and Indigenous women’s rights matters in Peru. She is the author of Truth, Justice, Reparations in Peru, Uruguay, and South Korea: The Clash of Advocacy and Politics (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), co-author of Theories of International Relations and the Game of Thrones (Lanham: Lexington Books, 2019), and has also published several articles and chapters in memory and genocide studies. Her work centering Indigenous peoples in Peru focuses on the coercive sterilization of Indigenous women and the legal frame of genocide. She is currently working on a second book on coercive sterilizations that documents the stories and experiences of Indigenous victims, Indigenous activists, and allies of the Indigenous women’s rights movements.
