Congratulations to @JoaquinRivaya! His historiographic essay on “Indigenous Borderlands in Colonial and Nineteenth-Century Latin America,” appears in Oxford Bibliographies in Latin American Studies. Ed. Ben Vinson.
I love this department. Got my masters there 20 years ago. The department remains generally positive, supportive culture. Want a master’s degree in history—@TXSTHistory is a fantastic choice.
