Biography

María Dolores Juliano was born in Necochea in 1932.^[2] She trained as a teacher, studied pedagogy, and earned a licentiate in anthropology at the University of Mar del Plata, graduating in 1975.^[3] After the 1976 coup that led to the civic-military dictatorship of Jorge Rafael Videla, she was forced into exile.

Juliano settled in Barcelona, where she completed her doctorate at the University of Barcelona (UB) with the thesis Integración y marginación en la cultura rural catalana. Análisis de endoculturación (Integration and Marginalization in Catalan Rural Culture: Endoculturation Analysis). In 1977 she became a professor of anthropology at UB's Faculty of Geography and History, a position she held until her retirement in 2001.^[2][4]

Juliano published numerous studies on the anthropology of education, migratory movements, ethnic minorities, gender studies, and social exclusion. Her scientific output has always been accompanied by a relevant social and feminist commitment.^[5]

In 2002, she appeared before the Spanish Senate's Commission on Prostitution as a contributor to the drafting of its final report.^[6]

In 2010, she was awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi for her academic career and valuable research results.^[2]

In 2021, she received the LASA/Oxfam America Martin Diskin Memorial Lectureship for her activism on behalf of marginalized sectors of society.^[7]

Juliano, along with Teresa del Valle and Verena Stolcke [es], is one of the principal subjects of Pioneras – Aitzindariak, a documentary directed by Inge Mendioroz about the origins of feminist anthropology in Spain in parallel with the anthropological discipline.
