Department of History

Congratulations to Gregory Rosenthal, whose article “Life and Labor in a Seabird Colony: Hawaiian Guano Workers, 1857-1870″ has been accepted for publication in the journal Environmental History. Environmental History is the world’s leading scholarly journal in environmental history and the journal of record in the field. Gregory prepared and wrote the first versions of this paper last year, in the department’s core seminar for entering graduate students.

Congratulations to Froylán Enciso, History Department, Ph.D. candidate, on his recent award from the SSRC in its highly competitive Drugs, Security and Democracy (DSD) Fellowship program. The DSD program supports research on organized crime, drug policy, issues of governance, and associated topics across the social sciences and related disciplines in Latin America and the Caribbean. The fellowship seeks to develop a concentration of researchers who are interested in policy-relevant outcomes and membership in a global interdisciplinary network.

Congratulations to Mark Rice, History Department, Ph.D. candidate, whose article entitled “Transnational Business and U.S. Diplomacy in Late Nineteenth-Century South America: W. R. Grace & Co. and the Chilean Crises of 1891″ was selected for print into the Journal of Latin American Studies, a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Cambridge University Press. The Journal presents recent research in the field of Latin American studies in economics, geography, politics, international relations, sociology, social anthropology, and history.
