Gil Joseph elected next President of the Latin American Studies Association

March 12, 2014

It is with great pleasure that we report that our colleague Gilbert Joseph has been elected the next President of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA). This is a well-deserved recognition of Gil’s status in his own field of History but also of his ability to cross disciplines, methodologies,  national boundaries, and theoretical differences.  Gil’s career has brought distinction to him and to Yale and we, his colleagues, students, and friends all join in congratulations and best wishes during his incumbency.
