Celeste Montoya received her Ph.D. in Political Science and a Graduate Certificate in Women and Gender Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. She joined the Women & Gender Studies Program at the University of Colorado Boulder in Fall 2007. She is currently the interim director for the Colorado European Union Center of Excellence.
Professor Montoya conducts research on the politics of marginalized groups. Her primary research agenda addresses women’s human rights and transnational activism, both in the global arena and with a regional focus on Europe and the European Union. To date, most of this research has focused on violence against women. More recently, she has undertaken a collaborative project studying women’s mobilization in Central and Eastern Europe. A second area of research focuses on Latino/a politics in the United States, particularly in relation to immigration, mobilization, and gender politics.
Professor Montoya has authored articles in International Organization, Politics & Gender, Publius, Urban Affairs Review, and the Social Science Journal. She has also published several book chapters in edited volumes, and has a book contract with Oxford University Press for her manuscript From Global to Grassroots: The European Union, Transnational Advocacy, and Combating Violence against Women.
In addition to Introduction to Feminist Studies and the Senior Colloquium, Professor Montoya teaches classes on gender politics in global and U.S. perspective and on feminist research methods.
