Professor Heidi Tinsman’s work focuses on twentieth-century Latin American social history, gender history, and labor history. Her recent book, Buying into the Regime: Grapes and Consumption in Cold War Chile and the United States, is a transnational history of how Chilean grapes created new forms of consumption and labor politics in both the United States and Chile.
In addition, please join us in Wood Hall Basement Lounge for a workshop on a pre-circulated paper by Professor Tinsman from 10:00 to 11:30 am on Wednesday, March 4.
These events are co-sponsored by the History Department, El Instituto, and the Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program.
