Education[]

Alcalde earned her Masters of Arts (1999) and Ph.D (2003) at Indiana University Bloomington in Latin American Studies and anthropology, respectively.[2]

Research[]

Alcalde researches domestic violence, particularly in Peru, her home country, and on the "interconnections among intimate, institutional, and structural violence in Peru and among Latinos in the U.S., as well as on masculinities and motherhood".[3] She finds that the responsibility of preventing domestic violence and protecting those who are being abused does not belong to any one person or institution, and it includes the police, the prosecutors office, ministries, courts, and the public.[4]
