Soledad Jiménez Tovar has a BA in Latin American Studies (2006, UNAM, Mexico), a MA in Chinese Studies (2009, COLMEX, Mexico) and a PhD in Social Anthropology (2014, MLU, Germany). She has done fieldwork in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). She compares historical perspectives on the (re-)configuration of ex-Soviet identities amongst China-related Muslims (i.e., Uyghurs and Dungans). At this stage of her career, she has started to crisscross Latin American critical thought to the study of Central Asia. Since 2017, she is Professor at the History Division at Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE), top public research center in Mexico City.
