Peter Sorensen, who recently defended his dissertation for the Ph.D. in History program, was awarded an Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Humanities at the University of Pennsylvania's Wolf Humanities Center for the 2022-2023 academic year on the theme of "Heritage."  Congratulations to Peter.

Michelle Chase works as an associate professor at Pace University in New York City. She received her Ph.D. in History from New York University in 2010.  Her first book, Revolution within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 was published by the University of North Carolina Press. The book explores the role of women and gender in the Cuban revolution.  The book challenges accounts of women’s liberation that emphasize the state by uncovering the vast mobilization of Women in Cuba’s urban centers. She argues that conflicts over the meaning of gender were central to politics in this tumultuous period.

For her new research project she has already published “Contesting the Youngest Revolution: Cuban Anti-Communists and the Global Politics of Youth, 1960-1965.” Journal of Latin American Studies (November 2021). Michelle recently received a prestigious NEH Fellowship for her current research on the transnational networks of Cuban exile activism.

 

With an audience of nearly 25 people, including two Rutgers History Ph.D. alums and various Rutgers faculty members, Professor Chase described the complex networks of Cuban anti-communist and anti-revolutionary activism, with the support of the CIA and pre-existing hemispheric anti-communist networks.

The Center for Latin American Studies at Rutgers University announces its incoming post-doctoral fellow for 2022-2024.

Dr. Briana Nichols is a recent Ph.D. graduate from the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Anthropology.  Her work and interests connect transnational development, critical theories of mobility and indigenous studies.

 

Her dissertation (Imagining un Futuro Digno: Indigenous youth striving for non-migration in Guatemala) explores the impact of migration in Guatemala and how indigenous youth construct futures in communities from which everyone else is leaving.  Her work engages with the afterlives of migration and asks how youth fight to remain in their communities of origin.  She has published in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies and is the co-editor and contributing author of a special issue of the International Journal of Refugee Studies.

 At Rutgers she will be teaching a section of our Introduction to Latin American Studies in the Fall and helping organize presentations, workshops and student projects on Central American societies and migration.
