In addition to being a professor of sociology, Ginetta Candelario has been the Editor of Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism since July 2017. She is also faculty affiliate of the Latin American and Latina/o Studies Program (LALS), the Study of Women and Gender Program (SWG), the Community Engagement and Social Change Concentration (CESC) at Smith College. She is the founding vice president of the National Latin@ Studies Association (LSA) and a founding executive committee member of the New England Consortium for Latina/o Studies (NECLS). She has also served the American Sociological Association (ASA) and the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) in key elected and appointed positions. Candelario's research interests include Dominican history and society, with a focus on national identity formation and women’s history; Blackness in the Americas; Latin American, Caribbean and Latina feminisms; Latina/o communities (particularly Cuban, Dominican and Puerto Rican); U.S. beauty culture; and museum studies. She has been a Fulbright Scholar in the Dominican Republic twice, in 2003 and 2016. Candelario's current research is on Dominican feminist thought and activism, 1880–1961, which she is developing into a book-length study, tentatively titled "Voices Echoing Beyond the Seas: Dominican Feminisms, from Transatlantic to Transnational (1882–1942)." She recently published Cien Años de feminismos dominicanos, 1861–1961: Una colección de documentos y escrituras claves en la formación y evolución del pensamiento y el movimiento feminista en la República Dominciana, 1865–1965, (Santo Domingo, RD: Archivo General de la Nación, 2016) with April Mayes (Pomona College) and Elizabeth Manley (Xavier University). Cien años is a 1,555-page primary documents collection organized in two volumes, Tomo I: El fuego tras las ruinas, 1865–1931 and Tomo II: Las siempre fervientes devotas, 1931–1965. Candelario's first book, Black behind the Ears: Dominican Racial Identity from Museums to Beauty Shops, received the 2009 Best Book Award from the Latino Studies Section of the Latin American Studies Association and the 2008 Best Book Award from the New England Council of Latin American Studies. The Spanish translation of this book, El negro detras de las orejas: Identidad racial dominicana, desde los museos hasta los salones de belleza, was published by the Editora Universitaria of the Instituto Superior Pedro Bonó, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in 2021. Her 2005 edited volume, Miradas desencadenantes: Los estudios de género en la República Dominicana al inicio del tercer milenio, was the first published collection of gender and women's studies research in the Dominican Republic and spurred a biennial publication series by the Center for Gender Studies (CEG) at the Instituto Tecnológico in Santo Domingo.
