Her research focuses on the cultural identity of Latin American indigenous groups and the place they occupy historically within different Latin American states, based on their indigenous ethnicity. Areas of special interest include the representations of indigenous people in contemporary Latin American literature and film and their more recent self-representations within literature written in indigenous languages (la literatura en las lenguas originarias), the strategies used by the indigenous cultures to engage the dominant societies in dialogue, such as indigenous organising, indigenous feminist activism and the indigenous claim on usocostumbrismo. Dr Djurdjevic-Flatley welcomes research proposals from prospective students interested in exploring minority cultures, an intersectional approach to gender and cultural identity, and the relationship between the traditionally marginalised groups and the hegemonic societies within the Hispanic context.
