Froylan Enciso



I was born in the tropical entrepôt, Mazatlán, Sinaloa, in 1981, and studied international relations at El Colegio de México (1998-2002). Currently I study a Ph.D. in history and serve as president of the Graduate Students Organization at SUNY-Stony Brook. My research interests includes the position of Mexico in the 20th century discourse of the cosmopolitan writers, but my dissertation project will focus on contested drug-commodities markets. With regard to the first theme, I has been studying the diplomatic services of Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes for the Mexican government as condition of possibility in their self-invention as cosmopolitan writers that reconfigured the textual representations of Mexico in an internationalist and multicultural fashion. In my studies about drug trades, I has explored different inter and multidisciplinary approaches, but the one that convince me the most now is its study as contested psychoactive-commodities in its global circumstances. I has published more than 30 academic works and more than 80 journalistic articles. I also have given more than 30 conference papers, guest lectures and presentation in Mexico, the United States and Panama. Since I arrived to Stony Brook in 2008, I have given more than 30 interviews related with my academic work for television, radio stations, magazines, alternative media and newspapers in the United States, Mexico, France, Canada, Jamaica and Colombia.
